You'll work at problem solving and creating solutions for problems and then working with these teams to integrate. Expect to work on multiple projects per year across varying disciplines and areas of our parks business. For this reason, candidate Senior Engineers need to be very flexible and open to working on different projects, use different languages, and support varying platforms. This is an ever-evolving position., In this role, you will design, develop high-volume software systems and APIs that support guest- and cast-facing products across Disney Experiences. You will work with minimal guidance, act as a resource for less experienced engineers, and lead small projects that require strong problem-solving skills, clear communication, and the ability to explain difficult concepts to diverse stakeholders. * Conceive, design, develop, test, and implement software components, fixes, improvements, and new systems and applications across cloud-based and internet-related platforms. * Design and implement reliable, high-throughput, low-latency, scalable, and well-documented code, including complex algorithms and distributed web services. * Develop and optimize microservices, RESTful APIs, and event-driven architectures to support our platforms. * Collaborate with product owners, architects, quality engineers, and business stakeholders to gather requirements, refine user stories, and deliver solutions that meet business needs and follow best engineering practices. * Work independently to analyze and solve issues, troubleshoot production and lower-environment problems, and proactively improve application performance and reliability. * Participate in and lead regular code reviews, maintain coding standards, and contribute to documentation, procedures, and work instructions for development and operations teams. * Leverage CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools, and DevOps practices (e.g., Splunk, Swagger, AppDynamics, New Relic, Harness, Rundeck) to ensure secure, high-quality, and observable software delivery. * Manage ownership and maintain of our team's internal authentication AuthZ service and Keystone Service used for validating access to internal projects when required. * Stay current with new emerging technologies and help identify where and when these can be used within Disney Experiences. * Identify systems and continual review of systems for potential improvements and solutions. * Documentation of systems and submission of patents when identified. * Mentor and support less experienced developers, providing technical guidance, reviewing deliverables, and helping the team adopt best practices and emerging technologies such as AI-assisted development tools
