  • Work with development and operations teams to provide analysis, tuning and improvements

Responsibilities:

  • Work with individual engineers to map out career growth and goals.

  • Guide an engineering team in its ownership of systems and processes.

  • Create an environment of trust for people to be themselves and able to excel

  • Provide input for stakeholders and decision makers in architecture, roadmap, and product.

  • Communicate architecture, roadmap, and product objectives to engineers and gather feedback for stakeholders.

  • Champion cross-team projects.

  • Coach and mentor other specialists on the team to ensure that all software utilizes Disney and industry best practices.

  • Collaborate efficiently with product management, technical program management, operations, and other engineering teams to capture requirements, drive implementation, and provide transparency.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree, and/or equivalent work experience

  • 8+ years’ experience in engineering

  • Experience in content distribution networks.

  • An ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

  • Strong discipline to delegate work and focus on solving management problems.

  • Comfortable driving complex and high profile projects without overextending personal health or well-being of your team.

  • Strong communication skills and a desire to share your knowledge with team members and others at Disney.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Prior experience as a manager or technical lead of engineers.

  • Experience with consumer facing services and high-scale systems.

  • Experience deploying and scaling within a cloud infrastructure.

  • Experience directly managing and mentoring a team.

  • Experience working with remote global teams and a flexible schedule to meet in different time zones.
