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 builds systems that assess Warner Bros. Discovery's resilience risk posture, enable auto-remediation and failover, and partner directly 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 technical lead who is comfortable turning the needs of our engineering community into thoughtful design and architecture, serving as a senior resource for other developers as they build software components.
