Software Engineer II

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.

As a Software Engineer II with our Ad Platforms group, you will use your deep Java, Scala, Python, scripting, DevOps, and data persistence skills to write and test code that delivers new features for our application portfolio. You will be an important part of a motivated team where we'll be looking for you to collaborate with the team to contribute to application architecture, code quality, and make sure we are building the right things for our users.

The ideal candidate would possess solid skills in big data technology (Spark and Flink), while having expertise with orchestration and containerization platforms (Airflow, Docker and Kubernetes), preferably coupled with hands on persistence and data streaming technology experience (Databricks, Snowflake, Redis, Kafka).

We strive to get things done quickly, with high quality, and we are committed to the agile methodology. Our work is guided by lean principles (looking at value and looking for waste; not doing anything 'for the sake of doing it').

The Ad Platforms team is responsible for Disney's industry-leading ad technology and products – driving advertising performance, innovation, and value in Disney's sports, news, and entertainment content, across all media platforms. You'll be working on building and maintaining large-scale data platforms for real-time and batch processing, contributing to best engineering practices, and developing robust, fault-tolerant architectures.

This is an excellent opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies while contributing to products that reach millions of users globally. You'll be part of a team that values innovation, quality, and collaboration, working on projects that directly impact Disney's media and advertising capabilities.
