The team marries technology with creativity to build world-class products, enhance storytelling, and drive velocity, innovation, and scalability for our businesses. We are Storytellers and Innovators. Creators and Builders. Entertainers and Engineers. We work with every part of The Walt Disney Company’s media portfolio to advance the technological foundation and consumer media touch points serving millions of people around the world.
Here are a few reasons why we think you’d love working here:
Building the future of Disney’s media: Our Technologists are designing and building the products and platforms that will power our media, advertising, and distribution businesses for years to come.
Reach, Scale & Impact: More than ever, Disney’s technology and products serve as a signature doorway for fans' connections with the company’s brands and stories. Disney+. Hulu. ESPN. ABC.

About The Role
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Data Foundation Platform team. We build and provide cloud platform and services that are used by data engineering teams and data scientists across Disney Entertainment and ESPN Technology, particularly in processing data related to our streaming and web-based businesses (e.g., data from Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, etc.). The successful candidate will have a passion for technology and solid coding skills. Knowledge of specific technologies may be helpful but is less important than an ability to learn quickly. We value team members who aren't afraid to dive deep when required, think for themselves, and have great communication and teamwork skills.
We’re seeking a skilled Back-End Software Engineer to help design and build secure, scalable, and high-performance systems that power Disney’s technology ecosystem. As part of a collaborative engineering team, you’ll contribute to building core backend services that support critical infrastructure and applications used across Disney’s diverse portfolio—including Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, and more.
You’ll work on systems that require thoughtful design, robust implementation, and close integration with internal platforms and services. This is a great opportunity to be part of foundational engineering work that supports millions of users and enables secure, reliable, and automated operations across a wide range of environments. The ideal candidate is a strong backend engineer with excellent problem-solving skills, a drive to learn, and a passion for building well-engineered solutions. While familiarity with specific technologies is a plus, curiosity, adaptability, and a desire to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment are even more important.

Engage with and understand our customers, forming relationships that allow us to understand and prioritize both innovative new offerings and incremental platform improvements.
Maintain detailed documentation of your work and changes to support data quality and data governance requirements.
Basic Qualifications
BS/BA in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a closely related field
5+ years software engineering experience in developing large projects
Strong algorithmic problem-solving expertise and fundamental programming skills
Proficient in Data Engineering technologies like Airflow, Spark, Databricks, Snowflake, OpenSearch, Neptune.
Hands-on experience with modern architectural paradigms such as microservices, event-driven systems, and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
