About Systems Engineer II, Broadcast & Media Solutions (CNN)

  Every great story has a new beginning, and yours starts here.

  Welcome to Warner Bros. Discovery… the stuff dreams are made of.

  Who We Are…

  When we say, “the stuff dreams are made of,” we’re not just referring to the world of wizards, dragons and superheroes, or even to the wonders of Planet Earth. Behind WBD’s vast portfolio of iconic content and beloved brands, are the storytellers bringing our characters to life, the creators bringing them to your living rooms and the dreamers creating what’s next…

  From brilliant creatives, to technology trailblazers, across the globe, WBD offers career defining opportunities, thoughtfully curated benefits, and the tools to explore and grow into your best selves. Here you are supported, here you are celebrated, here you can thrive.

  The Systems Engineer is a self-directed expert in designing, building, configuring, automating, maintaining and supporting the movement and transformation of video in a 24x7x365 news and entertainment production environment.

  The Systems Engineer translates business requirements into functional requirements and specifications, producing systems that meet business needs through the assembly of existing hardware and software components and the creation of new integrations and automation code. They spare no detail in attention to availability, performance, capacity planning, and security. They frequently work with: software developers, who focus on code authoring; systems architects, who focus on large scale system relationships; business analysts, who gather business requirements; and vendors, who create many of the components Systems Engineers use. Systems Engineers are expected to produce novel solutions to problems, not merely to execute procedures developed by others.
