Software Engineering – Summer 2025 

Stockholm, Sweden 

About the organization:  

Warner Bros. Discovery’s global technology organization sits at the intersection of tech, entertainment, and everyday utility. Our platform covers everything from search, catalog, and video transcoding, to personalization, global subscriptions, and more. As a pure tech organization, we are essential to Warner Bros. Discovery’s continued growth, building world-class products on our streaming platforms Max and discovery+.    

Why Join the Warner Bros. Discovery Team?  

Delivering one of the largest and most iconic content libraries in streaming to millions of consumers around the globe is no easy feat. It requires high levels of collaboration, a willingness to take risks, and a passion to tackle some of the most complex technical challenges. That is why at Warner Bros. Discovery, we cultivate an environment for our employees to thrive, whether it is building all our tech from scratch to continuously innovate, working at the exciting pace of a startup, or utilizing our flexible working hours to enhance collaboration with teams across the world. We think big and we hire people who do the same: technologists who love owning a problem and creating their own elegant solutions, and those who are willing to try, fail, learn, and try again because that is how we truly build the future.  

In terms of languages, we speak a little bit of everything - Swift 5/Swift UI, Kotlin, Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Ruby, Vue.js, React, Brightscript, GraphQL on AWS container-based and serverless stacks.   

We try to expose early career engineers to a wide range of projects, to help them get a sense of where their interests lie. We then pair them with a range of senior engineers so that they can learn from a mix of experiences. Attributes we look for in all our hires across the team are ownership and leadership, proactively taking ownership, having a bias for action, curious and always asking why.  

Why Intern at Warner Bros. Discovery:  

In addition to building great products and creating some of the best content in the world, we have built a great team and culture! Our program offers unique experiences, with tremendous opportunities for growth. We value and are committed to the work we do. Our engineers are some of the most talented in the industry and are excited to mentor and learn from our interns. You will have the opportunity to help deliver customer-facing, impactful projects and test your theories on the newest technologies and methodologies, while learning from the seasoned pros.

You will also have an extensive network for peers with whom you will have built great relationships! It is a small industry and the network you build and the impression you make during the program will be invaluable throughout your career. 

• Long-term Career Prospects: While this is a summer internship, we see this as the start of a long-term relationship that can potentially result in a return offer for our Full-time New Grad Program.

From working on unique and exciting projects, to having global impact and gaining international experience. We have also built a fantastic culture that is truly diverse and inclusive, reflected in creativity and innovation across our products and features. And of course, you will work with our talented team; our Scientists are among the best in the industry and are excited to mentor and develop the next generation of tech talent!

Projects may include building APIs, SVOD streaming applications, commerce integrations, designing products to prioritize security, developing, and improving payment services, and more.  

You will get an opportunity to think about scale, resiliency, and how to make your features production ready. We try to expose early career engineers to a wide range of projects, to help them get a sense of where their interests lie. We then pair them with a range of senior engineers so that they can learn from a mix of experiences.  

Previous interns have started making improvements to our production environments within the first two weeks of joining the team. Ultimately, the projects you will work on will depend on your areas of interest.
