Enterprise Software Architect

AT&T - El Segundo, California

Watching video, whether on a TV or any other device, is one of the most popular activities among people of all ages. A form of communication and creativity like no other, video is a window to the rest of the world. It allows people to share experiences, ideas and emotions, and it can literally change our lives.

The explosion of mobile devices has brought a new exciting landscape that has changed and continues to change how people enjoy and share video content. Video traffic over the Internet continues to grow and it will account for the vast majority of the overall traffic, including wireless traffic, in the next few years. At AT&T we are leveraging our extensive networks and the experience of our engineering and product teams to lead this change.

The AT&T’s Entertainment Group’s (AEG) engineering team is responsible for designing, implementing and deploying the software and supporting infrastructure that power our video services, including the DIRECTV online and satellite TV platforms. Our software gives millions of people access to their favorite content at home and on the go and it is constantly evolving while we look for ways to improve the efficiency and scalability of our systems.
