About Broadcast IT Systems Engineer

  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.

  Your New Role:

  The Broadcast & IT Systems Engineer requires a solid understanding of technology and practices necessary to perform maintenance, installation in both studio and outside broadcast facilities in a fast-paced production environment.

  In-house production support of live and recorded programming requires a knowledge of broadcast and IT infrastructure including:
