Meet Our Team:

The Media Supply Chain 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 onto Max.

We're looking for a developer who can be an integral part of our Media Supply Chain development team based in our offices in Silver Spring, MD. We also have development teams in New York City, Knoxville, and Atlanta, and will consider applicants who want to work from those offices. 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 Python microservices and Lambdas deployed within AWS. Our fleet of services works together in an event-driven workflow to guide content through acquisition and distribution workflows. We also build dashboard applications and monitoring tools using Angular web components. As a full-stack developer you'd be working alongside our current development team that features other full-stack developers as well as back-end developers and media workflow specialists. We don't need you to be an expert in everything, but we need you to be comfortable in both microservice design and in UI coding. Requirements and designs don't deliver set in stone, so we need you to be able to think on your feet and fill in the blanks when necessary. As a Software Developer II, you will be part of the architecture and design of the solutions we're building. We need a developer who's comfortable proposing their own ideas for architecture as well as design, layout, and usability.

We work in a hybrid model, combining in-person interactions in our offices with remote work at home. Our team uses Slack, JIRA, Confluence and Zoom to help coordinate our work.

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

• Design and develop RESTful services within the supply chain. Build architectural diagrams that communicate what we need to build and how we need to build it and document what you build

• 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.

• 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. Other engineers appreciate your feedback.

• Troubleshoot production issues by reviewing source code, logs, operational metrics, stack trace etc. to pinpoint a specific problem and then resolve it.

What to Bring :

• 3-5 years of experience as a software developer working on both back-end services and UIs

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field

• Experience with event driven architecture or asynchronous messaging services

• Experience developing Single Page Applications with a modern UI framework

• Experience developing applications for deployment within the Amazon Web Services environment

• High proficiency and technical leadership with technologies in our stack including Python, MongoDB, PostgreSQL databases, and Lambdas

• A willingness and ability to communicate with others on the team, participating in discussions with the team and with business stakeholders.

• The ability to solve business problems with simple and straightforward solutions, applying appropriate technologies and software engineering best practices.

• The ability to deliver high-quality results the first time and improve code, documentation, and results with each iteration. Your team trusts your work.
