About the organization: 

Warner Bros. Discovery’s global technology organization sits at the intersection of tech, entertainment, and everyday utility. Our platform covers everything from search, catalog, and video transcoding, to personalization, global subscriptions, and more. As a pure tech organization, we are essential to Warner Bros. Discovery’s continued growth, building world-class products on our streaming platforms HBO Max and discovery+.   

Why Join the Warner Bros. Discovery Team? 

Delivering one of the largest and most iconic content libraries in streaming to millions of consumers around the globe is no easy feat. It requires high levels of collaboration, a willingness to take risks, and a passion to tackle some of the most complex technical challenges. That is why at Warner Bros. Discovery, we cultivate an environment for our employees to thrive, whether it is building all our tech from scratch to continuously innovate, working at the exciting pace of a startup, or utilizing our flexible working hours to enhance collaboration with teams across the world. We think big and we hire people who do the same: technologists who love owning a problem and creating their own elegant solutions, and those who are willing to try, fail, learn, and try again because that is how we truly build the future. 

In terms of languages, we speak a little bit of everything - Swift 5/Swift UI, Kotlin, Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Ruby, Vue.js, React, Brightscript, GraphQL on AWS container-based and serverless stacks.  

A software engineer is a person whose primary responsibility is the design and development of software to production for WBD. They regularly engage with other engineers to challenge technical designs, validate technical decisions, review code changes, and unblock development. They are the frontline owner for operations related to their software including on-call support, fixing bugs, correction of error root cause fixing, data collection, software testing, and build and deployment practices. They may engage stakeholders to communicate status for their space, and they may prepare documentation related to initiatives or key decisions in their space, most often technical specifications and design documents. 

Why Software Engineering at Warner Bros. Discovery: 

In addition to building great products and creating some of the best content in the world, we have built a talented team and culture! Our program offers unique experiences, with tremendous opportunities for growth. We value and are committed to the work we do.
