Description For Sr Software Engineer

Join Disney Entertainment & ESPN Technology's Growth & Commerce Platform team as a Senior Software Engineer. You'll be part of transforming Disney's media business through the Commerce, Growth & Identity (CGI) team, focusing on creating seamless user experiences for consumers across subscription plans. The role involves working on modernizing Disney's platform by developing a layer that exposes commerce system capabilities to front-end device clients and service partners.

The team's mission is to abstract core commerce domains from client teams and centralize Growth & Commerce Platform capabilities into one shared layer, while decoupling core commerce systems for faster feature delivery. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies and contribute to systems that serve millions of consumers every day across Disney+, Hulu, ABC News, and ESPN+.

This position offers competitive compensation ranging from $136,100 to $191,100 depending on location, plus comprehensive benefits and potential bonuses. You'll be part of Disney's legacy of creating world-class entertainment experiences while working on innovative solutions that shape industry norms.

The role requires strong expertise in Java server-side development, API design, and experience with high-throughput systems. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to build scalable solutions that power Disney's next-generation media platforms. This is an opportunity to impact how millions of users worldwide experience Disney's content through modern, efficient, and reliable technology solutions.

Join a team that's reimagining how to deliver magical viewing experiences while transforming Disney's media business for the future. Your work will directly influence how audiences worldwide interact with Disney's vast entertainment portfolio, making this an exciting opportunity for those passionate about technology and entertainment.
