Job Description
Softwareengineering and data science skills, combined with the demands of a highly-visible enterprise metadata repository, make this an exciting challenge for the right candidate.
Are you passionate about digital media, entertainment, and software services? Do you likebigchallenges and working within ahighly-motivatedteam environment?
As aMetadataEngineer inthe dx Data Experience team, you will design, develop and support metadata repositories using real-time distributed computing architectures.Our mission is to enable many diverse users with the tools and information to gather, organize, make sense of Comcast data, and make it universally accessible to empower, enable, and transform Comcast into an insight-driven organization. Thedxbig dataorganization is afast-moving team of world-class experts who are innovating in end-to-end data delivery. We are a team that thrives onbigchallenges, results, quality, and agility.
Who does theMetadataengineer work with?
DX MetadataEngineering is a diverse collection of professionals who work with a variety of teams ranging from: other software engineering teams whose Metadata repositories integrate with the Centralized Metadata Store, Portal engineers who develop a UI to support data discovery, software engineers on other DX platforms that ingest, transform, and retrieve data whose metadata is stored in the Centralized Metadata Store, data stewards/data architects who collect and disseminate metadata information,and users who rely on Metadata for data discovery and lineage.
What are some interesting problems you'll be working on?
You will design and develop the metadata and business glossary collection and enrich the system that allows real-time update of the enterprise and satellite metadata repositories using best-of-breed and industry-leading technologies. These repositories contain metadata and lineage for a widely diverse and ever-growing complement of datasets (e.g., Hortonworks, AWS S3, Streaming Data (Kafka/kinesis), streaming data transformation, ML pipeline, Teradata, and RDBMS's) You will design and develop cross-domain cross-platform lineage tooling by using advanced statistical methods and Machine Intelligence algorithms. You will develop tools to discover data across disparate metadata repositories, develop tools for data governance, and implement processes to rationalize data across the repositories.
Where can you make an impact?
The dx Teamis building the enterprise metadata repository needed to drive the next generation ofdata platforms and data processing capabilities.Building data applications, identifying trouble spots, and optimizing the overall user experience is a challenge that can only be met with a robustmetadata repository capable of providing insightsinto the data and its lineage.
