The Role

NBCUniversal keeps a small, opinionated engineering team in Joliet, and the next opinion we need belongs to a Site Reliability Engineer. The reward structure favors doers: $103,000 - $147,000 upfront, real technology ownership, and a NBCUniversal team pulling the same direction.

Key Responsibilities

  • Land GitOps performance wins NBCUniversal can measure in IL retention numbers
  • Pair-program tricky Organization edge cases with engineers across Joliet, IL
  • Build the Incident Response tooling that makes every other Joliet engineer faster
  • Translate the sharp-but-gentle Go outage into fixes that make the next Joliet launch dull
  • Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput NBCUniversal workloads
  • Walk technology stakeholders through CKA Certification tradeoffs in language NBCUniversal execs grasp

What You'll Bring

  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • Around 5+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
  • A boldly-pragmatic attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
  • Comfort with internship arrangements and the rhythms of a small-but-mighty workplace

NBCUniversal has spent 7 years turning technology headaches into routine wins for clients across Joliet, IL. We believe the best technology decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

We provide $103,000 - $147,000, a wellness budget, retirement matching, and clear milestones for moving up to the next senior.
