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 to hundreds of millions of people around the world!

A few reasons why we think you’d love working here:

Media Engineering is an innovative organization that is focused on providing the best possible video playback experience, art, and metadata to customers around the world, powered by exceptional technology.

  • Desire to work in a start-up, fast-growth, or rapid-change environment

  • Problem-solving skills to identify the root cause

  • Solid communication skills – written, and oral

  • Understanding of agile methodologies and git source control

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

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with AWS technologies and cloud infrastructure

  • Experience integrating media players into web applications

  • Solid understanding of web accessibility fundamentals.

  • Strong knowledge to web standards and new technologies.

  • Understanding of async programming models (events, callbacks, promises, async/await) and threading/concurrency

  • Understanding of source control concepts and systems, CI/CD pipelines and exposure to Git

  • Experience with build and deployment technologies such as Jenkins and Docker. Experience with messaging technologies (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis, SQS, etc.)
