About the Team

Our Business Intelligence organization is structured across PMO, Analytics, Development, and DevOps; operating as a unified, cross-functional team that delivers high-quality, trusted, and scalable data products for Comcast Business. The Solutions Architecture workstream lives in our DevOps team and serves as a strategic connector across the department. In this role, you’ll collaborate daily with our data engineers, analysts, PMO, infrastructure, and production support to ensure our solutions are consistent, resilient, and ready for long-term success.

How We Work

We balance speed with intentional design, operating in a fast-paced, iterative environment grounded in discipline and strong engineering fundamentals. Our culture emphasizes autonomy, thorough documentation, predictable delivery, and a “measure twice, cut once” approach to solution design. We take pride in being a low-ego, high-ownership team where coaching, mentoring, and continuous improvement are embedded in how we operate. We also prioritize sustainable work/life balance

What Makes This Team Special

We are a mature, stable organization with well-defined processes, but we are also a place where innovation thrives. As part of BDI, you’ll have direct visibility with leadership and meaningful influence over our future-state architecture, standards, frameworks, and best practices. You’ll be key in shaping how data flows, how BI works, how platforms scale, and how we maintain trust in the data that powers business decisions across the company.

What We Expect

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Brings architectural rigor and a long-term, systems-thinking mindset
• Thrives on cross-team coordination and being the connective tissue across engineering, DevOps, and support
• Enjoys coaching, guiding, and raising the bar for engineers and analysts
• Can simplify complex systems and provide clarity in ambiguous situations
• Is comfortable making balanced architectural decisions and saying “no” when needed
• Is forward-thinking and passionate about designing for scale, stability, and maintainability
• This role does no development/data engineering in the day-to-day responsibilities

If you’re looking for a place where your architectural leadership can have departmentwide impact, and where you can help shape a scalable data ecosystem, this is the role for you.
