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 operational and reliable.  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 DevOps engineer who is comfortable with implementing the needs of our engineering community into thoughtful design and architecture, supporting other developers as they build software components.  The Senior Software Engineer needs to be both a strong individual contributor in automation, CI/CD, cloud, container orchestration and a technical mentor within their team for all things SRE. 

Roles & Responsibilities:  

• As a software engineer, you'll be at the forefront of designing, implementing, and managing cutting-edge applications on AWS cloud infrastructure. 

• Lead the development and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines using GitHub and GitHub Actions, ensuring seamless integration and deployment. 

• You will continuously look for opportunities to automate and develop self-healing solutions, leading to operational efficiency and cost optimization. 

• Perform in-depth analysis of system availability and performance with the help of observability platforms like Prometheus and ELK.  

• Troubleshoot infrastructure, service-level errors, and performance issues with precision and expertise. 

• Work on innovative microservices-based architecture, driving the evolution of our systems. 

• Craft detailed technical specification, including requirements and design documents to propose and implement innovative solutions after thorough reviews and approvals. 

• Ensure our systems operate efficiently at high scale, meeting the demands of our growing user base. 

• Dive deep into application issues by reviewing source code, logs, operational metrics, and tracing to pinpoint and resolve problems. 

• Share your DevOps knowledge and train other team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. 

• Embrace Agile methodology and use tools like Jira to document and track progress, keeping our projects on track and on time. 

• Help develop, deploy, and manage tools used for performance testing, ensuring our products are of the highest quality. 
   

What to Bring:

• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g. Python, Bash, Java, Go etc..) with respect to designing, coding, testing, and software delivery. 

• Hands-on experience in deploying and managing applications on Kubernetes, with knowledge of pod and container lifecycle management. 

• Experience using observability tools such as ELK and Prometheus, ensuring our systems are always monitored and optimized. 

• Ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure and service issues with precision and expertise. 

• Experience with microservices architecture that enables you to design and manage scalable, efficient systems. 

• Excellent technical writing skills, allowing you to create clear and comprehensive documentation. 

• You have experience working with high-scale systems, ensuring they operate efficiently under heavy loads. 

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail that help in identifying and resolving issues.
