The Global Video Engineering organization is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and develop our engineering team responsible for building the next generation of tooling, automation, data, and intelligence capabilities supporting video operations.
This role will lead a team of software engineers responsible for designing, building, and maintaining platforms used to operate, monitor, analyze, and improve NBCUniversal's video ecosystem across Live, Linear, and VOD experiences.
A key focus of this role will be the development of a centralized video intelligence and data platform that brings together operational, telemetry, scheduling, monitoring, and performance data from multiple systems. The platform will enable real-time visibility, correlation, advanced analytics, automation, and AI-driven operational capabilities.
The Engineering Manager will work closely with Product, Video Engineering, Operations, Architecture, Data Engineering, and other technology teams to establish scalable technical foundations while delivering high-value capabilities incrementally.
Roles & Responsibilities

Search Engineering Manager Jobs in ConnecticutEngineering Manager Jobs in Connecticut: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for engineering managers in Connecticut?
Several large employers in Connecticut have established H-1B sponsorship records for engineering manager roles. These include United Technologies (now Raytheon Technologies) in East Hartford, Synchrony Financial in Stamford, Cigna in Bloomfield, and Pitney Bowes in Shelton. Financial services and insurance technology firms clustered around Hartford also sponsor engineering leadership positions with some regularity, particularly for candidates with specialized software or systems engineering backgrounds.
Which visa types are most common for engineering manager roles in Connecticut?
The H-1B is the most common visa for engineering managers in Connecticut, as the role typically requires at least a bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field, qualifying it as a specialty occupation. The L-1A intracompany transferee visa is also relevant for candidates moving into a Connecticut office from a foreign affiliate in a managerial capacity. Candidates with extraordinary achievement may also explore the O-1A category.
Which cities in Connecticut have the most engineering manager sponsorship jobs?
Hartford and its surrounding towns, including Bloomfield, Windsor Locks, and East Hartford, account for the largest share of engineering manager openings tied to insurance technology, aerospace, and defense. Stamford is the second major hub, driven by corporate headquarters in finance and media technology. New Haven sees demand through Yale University's affiliated research operations and growing biotech activity, while Shelton and Shelton-area manufacturers add smaller but steady demand.
How to find engineering manager visa sponsorship jobs in Connecticut?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for roles where employers have a documented history of visa sponsorship, which is particularly useful for engineering manager positions in Connecticut where not every opening is open to sponsored candidates. You can search by role and state to surface relevant listings across Hartford, Stamford, and New Haven without having to screen out non-sponsoring employers manually. Migrate Mate is built for international candidates navigating exactly this process.
Are there state-specific factors that affect engineering manager visa sponsorship in Connecticut?
Connecticut's concentration of defense contractors means some engineering manager roles may require security clearances, which can significantly complicate or effectively preclude sponsorship for non-U.S. citizens. Outside defense, the state's insurance and financial services technology sector is generally more accessible to sponsored candidates. Connecticut is also home to several universities, including UConn and Yale, whose research and technology transfer offices occasionally generate engineering leadership hiring tied to sponsored talent pipelines.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored engineering manager jobs in Connecticut?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
