About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, develop and maintain scalable backend and frontend services that power WBD’s localization infrastructure, enabling fast and high-quality delivery of multilingual content across platforms like HBO Max, Discovery+ and CNN.
Take ownership of major technical components of the Global Localization platform, contributing to architectural decisions and proposing solutions for performance, scalability and reliability challenges.
Lead by example in writing clean, maintainable and well-tested code across technologies including Node.js, Java, React and TypeScript.
Drive feature implementation from idea to production — breaking down requirements, proposing designs, estimating effort, writing code, creating tests and monitoring after deployment.
Actively participate in code reviews and design discussions, helping raise the technical bar and foster a culture of engineering excellence and collaboration.
Contribute to building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure configurations and cloud deployments using AWS-native services and DevOps tooling.
Take a leading role in troubleshooting and resolving complex production issues — analyzing logs, metrics, traces and system behavior to identify root causes and define long-term improvements.
Continuously improve observability and system resilience through implementation of real-time dashboards, proactive alerting and fault tolerance patterns.
Work closely with product managers, localization experts and other engineers to deliver features that are robust, usable, user-friendly and well-integrated into the broader ecosystem.
Support and mentor junior engineers, promoting technical growth and knowledge sharing across the team.
Stay up to date with modern engineering practices, tools and architectural patterns; drive adoption of relevant innovations within the team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5 - 9 years of professional software engineering experience, delivering robust, high-scale backend and frontend systems in production environments.
Advanced experience with backend development using Node.js and frontend development using TypeScript.
Localization workflow experience is mandatory.
Hands-on expertise with AWS cloud services, particularly Serverless, Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, S3, DynamoDB, CloudWatch and EventBridge.
Strong understanding of microservice architecture, asynchronous systems and communication protocols (REST, gRPC, event-driven).
Experience with DevOps practices including Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
Practical knowledge of databases: PostgreSQL, DynamoDB and caching/search solutions such as Redis and Elasticsearch.
Strong focus on system observability — comfortable setting up dashboards, defining alerts and analyzing operational data using tools like Cloudwatch, Prometheus, Kibana and Grafana.
Familiarity with localization or internationalization challenges (e.g., ICU format, string management, translation workflows, Unicode handling) is a plus.
Proven ability to break down complex problems, design modular solutions and communicate technical decisions clearly.
Demonstrated mentoring ability and active participation in raising team quality through reviews, pairing and documentation.
Effective communicator across disciplines — capable of presenting and justifying technical approaches to peers and stakeholders.
