Job Description:
Technology is at the heart of Disney’s past, present, and future. Disney Entertainment and ESPN Product & Technology is a global organization of engineers, product developers, designers, technologists, data scientists, and more – all working to build and advance the technological backbone for Disney’s media business globally.
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. ABC News…and many more. These products and brands – and the unmatched stories, storytellers, and events they carry – matter to millions of people globally. Innovation: We develop and implement groundbreaking products and techniques that shape industry norms, and solve complex and distinctive technical problems.
As a Software Engineer, you will join Disney Entertainment & ESPN Technology's Growth & Commerce Platform Growth Life Orchestration Team. Disney has been investing tremendously in modernizing its platform by developing a platform layer that exposes the commerce system’s capabilities to our front-end device clients (Web, mobile, living room devices) and our service partners like the customer service platform. The team's primary objective is to abstract away the core commerce domains from client teams and centralize all of the Growth & Commerce Platform capabilities into one shared layer. Another objective of the team is to decouple these core commerce systems to allow for faster feature delivery.
Work alongside the Product and Business teams to understand the business implications and user flows for sign-up and user account management.
We are responsible for developing and operating The Walt Disney Company’s direct-to-consumer video businesses globally, including Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu. Our core mission is to deliver global audiences the freedom to access content on their terms across any connected device, time, or location. We serve consumers by bringing the world’s most beloved characters, timeless stories, legendary athletes, and epic sporting events to global audiences through outstanding direct-to-consumer video services. We strive daily to challenge convention with innovative technology that excites our customers creatively.
