Discovery, a premier global media and entertainment company, offers audiences the world's most differentiated and complete portfolio of content, brands, and franchises across television, film, streaming, and gaming. The new company combines Warner Media’s premium entertainment, sports, and news assets with Warner Bros Discovery's leading non-fiction and international entertainment and sports businesses. For more information, please visit   www.wbd.com   Meet Our Team   We are a platform-focused engineering team made up of Junior, Mid-level, Senior, and Staff engineers who specialize in distributed asynchronous messaging systems.   Our mission is simple but ambitious:   Make event-driven architecture safe, scalable, and easy to adopt across the company.   What defines our team:   We treat messaging as a product, not just infrastructure.   We believe in automation over manual operations.   We   design   multi-region, high-throughput , and mission -critical workloads.   We invest in documentation, internal enablement, and reusable frameworks.   We balance platform reliability with developer experience.   This is a team where you can deepen your   expertise   in Kafka, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering — while influencing architecture across the organization.   About the Role   We are looking for a   Software Engineer II   to join our Kafka Platform team and help build and scale our Kafka-as-a-Service offering on top of Confluent Cloud.   You will contribute to the design, automation, and evolution of a global event streaming platform that powers high-traffic telemetry, business-critical   messaging , and large-scale data processing workloads.   This role is ideal for an engineer who combines strong software development fundamentals with hands-on infrastructure and cloud experience, and who enjoys solving distributed systems challenges at scale.   What   You’ll   Do   Contribute to the development and evolution of our   Kafka-as-a-Service   platform   built on Confluent Cloud.   Design and implement scalable, resilient, and secure Kafka architectures across multiple regions.   Build and   maintain   Infrastructure-as-Code ( IaC ) workflows using   Terraform .   Improve self-service capabilities for internal teams (topic   provisioning, schema management, access control, etc.).   Solve complex challenges around:   Scalability & throughput   Multi-region replication   Schema Registry management   Security & compliance   High availability   & disaster recovery   Participate in on-call rotations and support production systems.   Develop automation and tooling in   Python, Java, or Go   to improve reliability and developer experience.   Contribute to   monitoring   and platform observability.   What   We’re   Looking For   Bachelor's degree in computer science   or related field (or equivalent experience).   3–5 years of professional software development experience.   Hands-on experience with   Kafka administration or operations   (preferably Confluent Cloud).   Experience working with   AWS cloud infrastructure .   Practical experience with   Terraform   or another Infrastructure-as-Code tool.   Strong   programming experience in   at least one   of the following: Python, Java, or Go.   Experience   operating   and supporting production systems.   Strong understanding of software engineering best practices:   Testing & automation   Code reviews   CI/CD   Observability & monitoring   Strong computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, distributed   systems   basics).   Preferred Qualifications   Operating   Kafka at scale , including:   Topic configuration & partitioning strategy   Consumer group optimization   Schema evolution & governance   Replication strategies   Event-driven architecture and streaming frameworks (e.g., Kafka Streams).   Cloud infrastructure automation ( AWS   preferred).   Database systems (Postgres, NoSQL, etc.) .   Experience   participating   in on-call rotations and incident   responses .   Strong written communication skills, including architecture documentation and diagramming.   Experience collaborating with globally distributed teams.   What Makes You Successful in This Role   Success in this role means growing from a strong contributor into a reliable platform engineer who can independently deliver meaningful improvements.   You will thrive in this role if you:   Own Problems End-to-End   Take well-defined problems and drive them through design, implementation, testing, and production rollout.   Follow through on operational excellence — not just writing code, but ensuring it runs reliably in production.   Proactively   identify   inefficiencies and suggest improvements.   Build with Production in Mind   Think about scalability, resiliency, observability, and failure modes while designing solutions.   Write clean, testable , and maintainable   code.   Value automation and prefer infrastructure-as-code over manual processes.   Develop Distributed Systems Intuition   Understand asynchronous patterns and trade-offs (throughput, ordering, retries, backpressure).   Ask thoughtful questions about partitioning strategy, replication, and consumer scaling.   Continuously deepen your understanding of Kafka and cloud-native systems.   Elevate the Team Around You   Participate actively in code reviews and technical discussions.   Contribute to improving documentation and shared standards.   Support teammates during incidents and learn from postmortems.   Operate with Accountability   Take ownership of   the services   and components you build.   Participate in on-call rotations responsibly.   Learn from production issues and help prevent repeat incidents.

Here at WBD, our guiding principles are the core values by which we operate and are central to how we get things done.
