Estimate, plan, design, implement, and close out software work for assigned scope, balancing evolving requirements against fixed budgets and schedules. • Build and maintain whole feature sets - from desktop and web applications through cloud-scale services and the data pipelines that connect them. • Partner across the Studio - translate product and business needs into technical requirements with product managers, project leads, and partner engineering teams; communicate trade-offs and risk early. • Set the engineering bar - lead code reviews, define and uphold standards and processes within the portfolio and contribute to studio-wide practice. • Build at the frontier - stay current on the tools changing how software gets made (AI-assisted development, modern data platforms, new frameworks), and bring what works back to the team. Required Qualifications & Skills • 8+ years of professional software development experience, with a demonstrated track record of leading technical work. • Strong proficiency in one or more modern languages (e.g., TypeScript, C#, Python, Java, JavaScript). • Working knowledge of CI/CD, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform), containerization (Docker), AWS, and observability tooling (e.g., Datadog, Splunk). • Experience designing and operating full-stack systems in the cloud, with sound instincts for security, performance, and reliability. • Fluency with modern engineering practice - version control, code review, automated testing, and workflow tooling (Git, GitLab, GitHub, JIRA, Jenkins). • Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to document decisions and explain technical trade-offs to non-engineering partners. • Willingness to travel occasionally on behalf of the company. Preferred Qualifications • Experience building software for estimating, project controls, or other business-critical domains. • Depth in data modeling, ETL/data pipelines, and warehouse technologies (e.g., Snowflake). • Familiarity with reactive front-end frameworks (Vue.js preferred) and full-stack TypeScript/Node.js. • Experience integrating or extending vendor SaaS platforms and managing technical aspects of vendor relationships. • Proficiency with AI-assisted development workflows and tooling (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code). Education • Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field Required. Additional Information: Disney offers a rewards package to help you live your best life.
