As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) on the Player Platform QA team, you will take part equally in software development and testing processes, focusing on the testability, robustness, and performance of the IP video playback experience. The Player Platform is an SDK written in various programming languages like Kotlin, Swift, Typescript, and BrightScript, which powers the IP video playback experience on X1 platform set-top boxes and Xfinity Stream applications on Android, iOS, web browsers, and Roku platforms. The Player platform provides a video player that integrates with our video streaming, content protection (DRM), advertisement, emergency alerts, and real-time analytics services. As an SDET, you will be building automation testing tools and frameworks to assist the manual testing process. Player platform SDETs collaborate with software engineers, software architects, and other video streaming technologists. Daily, you will be working on a small scrum team that consists of product owners, software engineers, SDETs, and quality assurance engineers. The primary focus of the player platform team is to build flexible and reliable APIs that provide the best user experience for our customers and generate multi-billion-dollar revenue for our advertising business. You will be required to get acquainted with multiple platforms where Xfinity Stream applications are supported and become a subject matter expert for triaging issues reported by customers, working with engineering teams to get potential fixes and certifying them for deployment. You will also need to build automation scripts that perform regression testing on player releases and quickly release changes to our customers.
