We strive to be a diverse team, passionate about great technology applied creatively to solve complex business problems. We are a motivated team that is committed to lifelong learning and improving, both in and out of the office. We strive to be flexible and adaptable to change both in how we execute projects and in the technologies we use to deliver our solutions. We care about the details because every pixel, every line of code, and every user interaction with our products determines whether we are delivering on our commitment to producing the very best products possible. You’ll be joining a talented team that works interdependently toward aggressive goals to deliver technically sound solutions. We work to ensure that we share both accountability and credit as a team. We often include our users as part of our team and we work to connect with them on a human level, understanding their world, so we can deliver software that they love to use.
Responsibilities:As a Software Engineer you will use your coding, DevOps, and data skills to write and test code that delivers new features for our application portfolio.

We want someone that has solid DevOps experience - possessing 4 or more years’ experience in designing and managing highly scalable, secure, performant, and usable systems leveraging cloud infrastructure. The ideal candidate would possess skills in Infrastructure as Code, scripting and automation, while having expertise with orchestration and containerization platforms (Docker and Kubernetes), coupled with hands on persistence and data streaming technology experience (MySQL, Postgres, Redis, Kafka).

We strive to get things done quickly, with high quality, and we are committed to the agile methodology.

We’re looking for a passionate, impactful, individual who wants to come here to do their very best work and make their mark, add their chapter to the long and storied history of The Walt Disney Company. Someone who holds themselves and their teammates accountable in a professional, collaborative manner. A collaborative technologist who seeks to bring the best out in themselves and those around them. Someone who can provide a fresh perspective and innovative insight to our initiatives.
