Our Team
Discovery Inc is the world’s #1 pay-TV programmer reaching 2.7 billion subscribers in more than 220 countries and territories. Global Technology & Operations provides technological infrastructure and operations support to ensure audiences can enjoy Discovery's programming around the world and across platforms. Already a leader in the factual and lifestyle genres, Discovery has expanded its core business into new genres: sports, entertainment and kids. Its platforms and product eco-systems are now engaged in terrestrial/free-to-air, OTT products and content development/production companies.
The Way We Work
Discovery continues to grow around the world and across platforms. GT&O is building media technology and systems that meet world class standards for which Discovery is known. Our culture and leadership traits are in evolution as we expand from a traditional linear Pay TV business towards a convergent media and entertainment business that encompasses digital and mobile. Discovery is developing direct-to-consumer relationships, while delivering traditional platforms, with innovative solutions. Discovery is looking to embrace a dynamic and entrepreneurial individual.
The Role
Discovery is searching for our next cloud engineer! Our cloud engineering teams focus on modern technology and creating next-generation solutions.

Our cloud engineering teams love learning new things, and using that knowledge to enable our internal customers. You should be curious about technology, both the new technologies being developed, as well as the fundamentals that make them work. You also take that knowledge and share out to those around you.
Our cloud engineering teams develop positive relationships with customers. You should be a good communicator, able to develop and maintain relationships with internal customers who rely on our knowledge and technology. You should work with customers to understand their issues and concerns, and offer valuable solutions.
Our cloud engineering teams want operational smoothness. You value simplicity, and don't deliver over-complicated solutions. You automate not just solutions, but monitoring and even documentation. You include tests to avoid regressions and assist in achieving quality deployments.
