Meet Our Team:

We are part of Core Streaming products group for Direct-2-Consumer business and responsible for building and maintaining video streaming Mobile & OTT applications for Discovery Plus platform. Our front-end teams build user experience for search, catalogue, video streaming, personalization, subscriptions, payments and much more.

The Content Systems Engineering (MSC) team builds applications and services that power Warner Bros. Discovery's content supply chain, supporting the entire media lifecycle-from idea to distribution. Our solutions enable thousands of internal users to seamlessly produce and distribute content across platforms, including Discovery+.

Roles & Responsibilities:

You are very hands-on and capable of playing a leading role to design and develop major functional changes to existing software systems, or new ones, involving yourself and other engineers. You provide guidance on design, coding, and operational best practices, and have a track-record of applying these best practices to software that you have worked on. You can propose and create best practices proactively where none exist. You make high impact decisions driving how and what software gets built. Your decisions are often right, and you are persuasive in delivering your suggestions and ideas to your team. You mentor junior engineers, overseeing their designs, code quality, and integration into a team. Your success is judged as much on your own productivity as on the positive impact you have on engineers around you.

What to Bring:

  • 9-13 years of experience developing Full Stack applications
  • Experience in building scalable APIs and service with strong expertise in Node.js and GoLang.
  • Experience in databases with solid understanding of MongoDB and at least one relational database (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
  • Experience building modular apps with a strong grasp of modern front-end development principles and frameworks (e.g., React or Angular).
  • Experience in Apache Kafka for real-time data streaming and event-driven architecture.
  • Experience in deploying, monitoring, and troubleshooting applications in AWS cloud environments.
  • Experience in DevOps/SRE practices such as CI/CD, performance monitoring & incident management
  • 4+ years leading junior & mid-level developers (providing coaching, mentoring, setting goals, and recruiting talent).
  • Hands-on expertise in disparate technologies, typically ranging from front-end user interfaces through to back-end systems and all points in between.
  • Demonstrated ability to design complex, distributed systems with performance, reliability, and maintainability in mind.
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to troubleshoot and optimize across the full technology stack.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to collaborate and influence across teams.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional projects, mentor team members, and foster a culture of technical excellence and ownership.
  • Experience leading OTT applications is a strong plus.
  • A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience.

What We Offer:

  • A Great Place to work
  • Equal opportunity employer
  • Fast track growth opportunities
