The Lead Software Engineer will have responsibilities within the Disney Experiences (DXT) team that manages technical delivery for products within the Connected Products team across all DX.

This is a hands-on lead role: you will be expected to write production code, drive architecture, lead delivery across teams, and own operational outcomes for critical platform components.

Job:

  • Build clean, versioned event schemas and APIs that integrate with downstream consumers and external systems
  • Independently act as technical liaison and team representative with high autonomy
  • Comfortable mentoring junior developers and presenting to executive audiences
  • Engage in the estimation and planning of sophisticated scalable projects
  • This position may require occasional travel, estimated at 10-15%
Basic Qualifications:
  • Must have 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with experience in distributed, production systems
  • Must have 3+ years of repeated cross-team technical leadership, end-to-end ownership of multi-service initiatives, and driving architecture decisions that others implement at scale
  • Leads through technical influence, not direct people management.
  • Must have expertise building real-time or streaming data pipelines (event ingestion, aggregation, windowing, and emission) with technologies like AWS IoT Core, Kinesis, Kafka, and MQTT.
  • Must have expert-level proficiency in Java
  • Must have deep hands-on experience with AWS (e.g., ECS/EKS, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, Timestream/InfluxDB)
  • Must have strong understanding of event-driven architecture , schema evolution, and downstream consumer integration
  • Proven ability to design and deliver systems that are observable, resilient, and scalable
  • You will be expected to stay up to date with emerging technologies so you can make informed recommendations
Strongly Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience integrating IoT, edge, or computer-vision-adjacent systems into cloud platforms
  • Operating high-visibility systems with strict performance and reliability expectations
  • Experience with stream processing frameworks or high-throughput messaging systems
  • Building systems that handle sensitive or privacy-relevant data , with strong security and access controls
Required Education:
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field or years of equivalent relevant experience
