Meet Our Team: 
The Content Systems/MSC Engineering team builds the applications and services that power Warner Bros Discovery’s content supply chain.  Our applications cover the entire breadth of the media supply chain, from idea to distribution.  We have a robust global community of thousands of internal Warner Bros Discovery users who rely on our apps every day to get television produced, on the air, and into streaming. 
We’re looking for a developer who can be an integral part of our development team in Warner Bros Discovery’s Knoxville office.  We need a full stack developer who’s comfortable building, implementing, and consuming RESTful APIs for enterprise solutions. Our current service tier is a blend of Java and Angular services. We’re transitioning existing applications to a micro-front end featuring reusable components and loosely-coupled micro-apps. As a full-stack developer you’d be working alongside our current development team that features other full-stack developers along with some specialists dedicated to either front-end or back-end layers. No need to be an expert in everything, but we need you to be comfortable in your skills in each layer to contribute to it. Requirements and designs don’t deliver set in stone, so we would like you to be able to think on your feet and fill in the blanks when necessary. 

Roles & Responsibilities: 

• Build application service layers and UIs to support Warner Bros Discovery’s content supply chain. 

• Lead design components and complex architecture with little oversight. You solve business problems with simple and straightforward solutions, applying appropriate technologies and software engineering best practices. Build architectural diagrams that communicate what we need to build and how we need to build it. 

• Describe and defend your design and code decisions to other engineers, embrace constructive feedback, and adapt your approach to align with team and company standards and objectives. 

• You are a collaborative leader that makes other engineers and team members around you more productive, by sharing your knowledge, and helping to break key technical decisions. You provide mentoring to other engineers, pushing them to grow in their skills, communication, and design. 

• Offer enhancements to best practices, document, design, and architecture improvements, and as feedback through code reviews to other engineers without continuous prompting or recurring encouragement
