The VOD team is a mix of software engineers and video engineers, that define and maintain the VOD workflow (The Path a piece of content follows to get on to the streaming Platform).  The SRE Team is responsible for deploying and maintaining availability of all Infrastructure and applications that are part of this workflow. Currently the VOD team uses a mixture of vendor and in house-built applications to implement this workflow. However, we are in the middle of an exciting transition bringing many of these workflows in-house and therefore this internship is an exciting opportunity to get real world exposure to all the work necessary to get content ready for streaming. • Global Delivery, Quality Engineering: Our Global Quality Engineering Team is responsible for broad scale of quality by testing integrated systems and the client applications focused on delivering flawless experience for our customers. Our teams analyse requirements, create test plans and perform feature testing for Peacock & all of its propositions which includes backend integration of components and application front end across all the major device platforms. Our goal is to educate the interns on Software Development Life Cycle and importance of Software Quality Assurance. • Video-On-Demand Engineering, Workflows: The VOD Engineering team is hiring a summer intern to join the VOD Workflows team, which builds and supports the automated media pipeline that delivers video-on-demand (VOD) content to NBCUniversal’s streaming platforms. The intern will work with engineers on business-critical video workflows and cloud services. They will gain exposure to how the team troubleshoots VOD workflows and playback and configures encoding for video, audio, and subtitles across platforms. Day to day, the work is scoped and guided: contributing to the pipeline, learning how media-processing and cloud delivery systems are operated, and helping improve them. • Peacock, Live, Play, and DAI: Global Video Engineering’s Live, Play, and DAI group builds and runs the systems behind Peacock’s live events, video playback, and direct ad insertion. These are the paths viewers hit when they watch a live game, press play, and see an ad. The work is user-facing and revenue-critical, and it has to stay up while millions of people are watching at once. The group is organized as product engineering teams with embedded Site Reliability Engineers. Live covers event orchestration, encoding, and distribution. Play covers playback, and the services that get a stream to the device. DAI covers ad decisioning and inserting ads into live and on-demand video. SREs sit with those teams and own reliability across the stack: AWS, Kubernetes, networking, the application, and the telemetry that shows whether it is healthy. An intern will work with engineers who ship code and operate what they ship. They see how a live event is prepared and run, how an ad decision becomes a break in the stream, and how playback failures show up in metrics, logs, and traces. They will contribute to real systems with a focus on improving reliability, performance, observability, and automation that removes repetitive operational work. • Global Streaming Tech, Live Play & DAI: Our Backend Video Engineering team builds and maintains the technology that powers video content and advertising delivery across NBCUniversal’s digital platforms. The team develops scalable backend services and APIs using Go (Golang), helping ensure reliable and efficient video experiences for audiences. Interns will gain hands-on exposure to backend software engineering while collaborating with experienced engineers and learning how large-scale video systems are designed, developed, tested, and maintained.
