Job Description:

On any given day at Disney Entertainment & ESPN Technology, we’re reimagining ways to create magical viewing experiences for the world’s most beloved stories while also transforming Disney’s media business for the future. Whether that’s evolving our streaming and digital products in new and immersive ways, powering worldwide advertising and distribution to maximize flexibility and efficiency, or delivering Disney’s unmatched entertainment and sports content, every day is a moment to make a difference to partners and hundreds of millions of people around the world.

  • Building the future of Disney’s media business: DE&E Technologists are designing and building the infrastructure that will power Disney’s media, advertising, and distribution businesses for years to come.

  • Reach & Scale: The products and platforms this group builds and operates delight millions of consumers every minute of every day – from Disney+ and Hulu, to ABC News and Entertainment, to ESPN and ESPN+, and much more.

  • Innovation: We develop and execute groundbreaking products and techniques that shape industry norms and enhance how audiences experience sports, entertainment & news.

The Commerce, Growth & Identity (CGI) team is dedicated to three business-critical areas at Disney that will help transform its media business. They create seamless user experiences for consumers who can choose from a wide range of subscription plans, enabling more choice and flexibility. The CGI team is also focused on building innovative and cutting-edge capabilities that will drive subscriptions, engagement, and monetization across Disney’s streaming and digital products.

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. 

 

Responsibilities 

  • Work alongside the Product and Business teams to understand the business implications and user flows for sign-up and user account management. 

  • Contribute to designs and develop a future proof API layer that exposes the commerce lifecycle platform capabilities to various clients. 

  • Review and develop robust API contracts and scalable microservices for internal clients. 

  • Assist in creating technical proposals to illustrate the high-level design and system flow between clients and backend systems. 

  • Understand key dependencies such as the core subscription, billing, and payment systems and how they will affect clients. 

  • Contribute to the end-to-end software development lifecycle for our systems: conceptualize, design, build, code review, test, load test, launch, and measure performance. 

  • Collaborate with the Product team to translate requirements into well-defined 
    technical implementation. 

 

Basic Qualifications 

  • Minimum of 5 years of related work experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software, Electrical or Electronics Engineering, or comparable field of study, and/or equivalent work experience

  • Strong code design and architectural skills 

  • API design experience (authoring and providing feedback) with 
    stakeholders 

  • Strong programming experience in Java 

  • Familiarity with SQL 

  • Outstanding communication, collaboration skills, and a strong ethic of teamwork 

  • Quality-first demeanor with a focus on test automation and CI/CD 

  • The ability to jump into a project and contribute immediately to both architecture and implementation 

  • Strong analytical skills

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience with Spinnaker and Kubernetes 

  • Experience with Spring WebFlux or Reactive programming in Java 

  • Experience with GraphQL (implementation and integration) 

  • Experience or familiarity with gRPC 

  • Experience with AWS, Terraform

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
