Your New Role...

We areseekinga highly skilled Security(Cybersecurity)Architect to help shape and strengthen the security posture ofWarner Brothers Discovery.As a Security (Cybersecurity) Architect, you will also help define and secure the company’s rapidly evolving footprint in emerging technologies, including AI/ML systems, contentgeneration pipelines, predictive analytics models, autonomous production tooling, and advanced cloud-native architectures. You will ensure thatnew technologiesare introduced responsibly, resiliently, and withbuilt-insecurity controls that protect intellectual property, sensitive media assets, and user trust.You willalsocollaborate with engineering, IT, studio production, and business teams to ensure that secure, resilient solutions support the creative and operational needs of our global brands.

WhatYou’llDo

• Design and implement enterprise‑class security architectures across application, network, cloud, and identity domains.

• Conduct threat modeling, security assessments, and vulnerability analysis; recommend improvements to mitigate emerging risks.

• Review and enhance existing security controls; align strategy with industry frameworks such as NIST and ISO 27001.

• Support incident response efforts, including planning, investigation, and post‑event review.

• Collaborate with development and infrastructure teams to integrate security requirements throughout the technology lifecycle.

• Evaluate, recommend, and implement modern security tools and monitoring systems across cloud, hybrid, and on‑premise ecosystems.

• Drive continuous improvements in security governance, documentation, and compliance.

• Architect security controls for AI/ML systems, including modelhardening, datapipeline integrity, adversarialattack mitigation, andtrainingdatagovernance.

• Support secure adoption of emerging technologies, such as generative AI, edge computing, real-time production automation, andDeeplearningbasedcontent workflows.

• Develop and enforce guidelines to prevent model poisoning, promptinjectionfailures, model exfiltration, and data leakage in AI-driven pipelines.

• Evaluate new AI technologies, modelhosting platforms, andmediaproductioninnovations for security risks before adoption.

• Integrate AIsecurity requirements into incident response, ensuring threats targeting models (e.g., manipulated outputs,shadowmodelcreation) are included in IR playbooks.

Who You Are

• A cybersecurity professional capable of combining deep technical knowledge with business‑aligned decision‑making.

• Experienced in designing secure architectures in hybrid environments (cloud + on‑prem), preferably within complex enterprise settings.

• Comfortable communicating with engineers, creative teams, and executives to translate security needs into actionable plans.

• Open toallcandidateswithdemonstratedcompetency in core security principles and architecture fundamentals.

• Be experienced or strongly interested in securing AI/ML platforms, including understanding of modelsecurity risks, datagovernance controls, and emerging standards (e.g., NIST AI RMF,securebydesignprinciples).

• Beable to communicate risks unique toemergingtechnologies to both technical teams and creative/production staff.

• Be comfortable leading secure enablement for rapid innovation while enforcing guardrails that reduce organizational exposure.

As a Security(Cybersecurity)Architect, you will design, build, and advance security architectures that safeguardWarner Brothers Discovery’senterprise platforms, content, and digital experiences. This role supports the protection of highvalue intellectual property, largescale content delivery ecosystems, and hybrid technology environments spanningon-premise, cloud, and edge systems. You will workcrossfunctionallywith engineering, IT, business stakeholders, and production technology teams to ensure the implementation ofresilient, scalable,threatawaresecurity capabilities aligned with business and creative priorities.

You willbe responsible fordeveloping and evaluating security frameworks, performing risk assessments, and guiding the design of modern security controls across applications, network layers, identity systems, production workflows, andothermediaspecific technologies. Responsibilitieswillspanassisting indesigning robust enterpriseclass security systems,identifyingemergingthreats, reviewing current security measures, and ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory and industry standards. The role also includes collaborative support for incident response, disaster recovery planning, and the integration of security into ongoing technology initiatives andcontentdistribution processes.

Ideal candidates bring a balance of technical depth and business alignment, with the ability to think both like a defensive strategist and like an attacker to proactively secure a complex digital media ecosystem. While the role favors midto seniorlevel professionals experienced in architecting security solutions, itremainsopen to strong junior and midlevel talent whodemonstratefoundational security principles, adaptability, and a desire for growth within a global,fast-paced, contentdriven environment.

This architect willoperatewithin a collaborative security organization(GICS)where continuous learning, innovation, and crossteam partnership are essential for protecting a diverse portfolio of entertainment brands, live and digital experiences, and largescale audience platforms.You’llhelp ensure thatcuttingedgestorytelling and creative technologies are delivered securely and reliably across a worldwide audience.
