Job Description
Welcome to Warner Bros. Discovery… the stuff dreams are made of.
Who We Are…
hBO Max delivers boundary-pushing stories across genres and platforms, connecting millions of viewers across 90 countries globally— and we’re just getting started. We're home to the most talked about shows and movies, granting audiences access to the worlds of HBO, Harry Potter, DC, Warner Bros., ID, Adult Swim, A24, and more. Turn your streaming obsession into a career— we’re hiring!
Your New Role
The Global Device Operations team designs, builds, and manages a network of large-scale device farms across multiple global data centers. These device farms contain thousands of consumer-grade connected devices — including set-top boxes, smart TVs, mobile phones, gaming consoles, and more — which power testing and quality assurance for WBD’s global streaming platforms.
This team owns and operates the network and infrastructure that makes these environments performant, secure, and scalable. From routing design to tunnel-based geolocation, from overlay networks to automation, we operate at the crossroads of engineering, operations, and innovation.
Your Role Accountabilities
We are hiring a Senior Network Developer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a passion for architecting and automating scalable network systems in hybrid and on-prem environments. You will lead the design and execution of complex data center networks, integrate modern overlay technologies, and
develop network automation as we evolve our infrastructure toward greater agility and resiliency.
The Senior Network Developer will engage with various stakeholders across engineering, dev teams, corporate IT, and enterprise infrastructure to ensure consistent, high-performance network operations.
You will also play a key role in mentoring engineers, setting design standards, and representing network engineering across the org.
Scope and Complexity:
You have deep subject-matter expertise in data center networking and have led the design and operation of production networks at scale. You understand how to apply automation, platform thinking, and layered architecture to support large environments with multi-vendor gear and highly diverse device types.
You design straightforward, scalable solutions for complex technical problems using modern best practices in Layer 2/3, tunneling, overlay networks, and infrastructure as code. You anticipate dependencies across the infrastructure stack and drive long-term improvements.
You have delivered multiple stable, scalable, and highly available infrastructure solutions that have powered real-world, mission-critical systems. You are familiar with designing and managing systems that support thousands of endpoints and services.
Operations:
You are a model of best practices — your work is clean, documented, and durable. You integrate telemetryand debugging tools into your workflows and improve visibility across the stack. You lead by example and help raise the operational standard across the team.
Qualifications & Experience
• 8+ years of experience in network engineering, with a strong focus on data center architecture, operations, and automation
• Expert-level knowledge of: Layer 2 protocols (STP, VLANs), routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP), overlay networks and control planes (EVPN, VXLAN), tunnel technologies (IPSec, GRE, L2TP)
• Experience with Cisco (NXOS, ACI, IOS XE), Arista EOS, Mikrotik ROS, HPE and Cisco UCS server platforms, NetBox, tcpdump, Wireshark, traceroute, EP-tracker, Ansible, Terraform, Python scripting, Infoblox, Fibre Channel SANs, Aruba/Mikrotik wireless tech, Hyper-V, ESXi, AWS, GCP, Azure
• Demonstrated experience with network migrations, multi-vendor environments, and automation-first initiatives
• Strong technical documentation skills and ability to represent network engineering in cross-functional discussions
• Certifications (Required): One or more advanced networking certifications such as Cisco CCNP/CCIE, Arista ACE, JNCIE or equivalent
What We Offer
• A high-impact role supporting global-scale streaming platforms
• Opportunity to lead large-scale network design and automation initiatives
• A collaborative environment with strong engineering culture
• Access to bleeding-edge technology across cloud and on-prem
• An inclusive, supportive, and forward-thinking team
How We Get Things Done…
This last bit is probably the most important! Here at WBD, our guiding principles are the core values by which we operate and are central to how we get things done. You can find them at www.wbd.com/guiding-principles/ along with some insights from the team on what they mean and how they show up in their day to day. We hope they resonate with you and look forward to discussing them during your interview.
