Meet Our Team:

DTC’s many software engineering teams build applications for the web, mobile, tablets, connected TVs, consoles, and other streaming devices. DTC’s Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams are responsible for ensuring these systems stay up and operational.  Warner Bros. Discovery’s approach to SRE is proactive vs. reactive. The team focuses on building and supporting prevention systems and processes over incident response. SRE develops capabilities that assess Warner Bros. Discovery’s resilience risk posture, enable auto-remediation and failover. The team partners with service development teams to ensure the robustness of their architectures.

We are a fast-growing, global engineering group crucial to Warner Bros. Discovery’s future.  We need a software engineer who is comfortable turning the needs of our engineering community into thoughtful development opportunities, serving as an SRE engineer for application developers as they build software components.
