Software Engineer

Job Description:

At Disney Experiences Technology, our team creates world-class immersive digital experiences for the Company's premier vacation brands including Disney's Parks & Resorts worldwide, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, and Disney Vacation Club.

We are responsible for the end-to-end digital and physical Guest experience for all technology and digital-led initiatives across the Attractions & Entertainment, Food & Beverage, Resorts & Transportation and Merchandise lines of business as well as other initiatives including MyDisneyExperience and Hey, Disney!

This role sits in the Retail & Restaurant Commerce Technology organization within Technology & Digital for Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products. It works closely with a diverse team of engineers and service owners from across the company.

What You'll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services and RESTful APIs using Java and Spring Boot.

  • Model, persist, and query data using JPA/Hibernate against relational databases (MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, or similar), including writing efficient SQL.

  • Build and integrate event-driven components using pub/sub messaging and queues (e.g.,Kafka, RabbitMQ, or cloud-native equivalents) to support asynchronous, decoupled workflows.

  • Contribute to front-end features, primarily in React, when a task calls for full-stack ownership.

  • Participate in the full Agile/Scrum lifecycle: sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, retrospectives, and demos.

  • Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code; review teammates' pull requests and respond to feedback on your own.

  • Debug and resolve production issues, including performance, reliability, and scalability problems.

  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate requirements into technical solutions.

  • Contribute to technical design discussions and document your approach for moderately complex components.

  • Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge through code reviews, pairing, and informal tech talks.

Who You Are:

  • Your day will typically start with checking messages and PR notifications, followed by a daily stand-up with your team. Most engineers split their time between reviewing open pull requests, focused coding on features or bug fixes, and testing changes locally.

  • Afternoons often include sprint planning, design discussions, or syncs with product and design partners. Throughout the week, you'll move between independent implementation work and collaborative problem-solving with your team.

Qualifications of the Role:

  • A minimum of 3 years of professional software engineering experience, with a focus on backend development.

  • Comfortable navigating systems with CLI or terminal commands.

  • Strong proficiency inmodernJava (21+) and the Spring / Spring Boot framework.

  • Experience with JPA/Hibernate and relational databases (MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, or similar).

  • Solid understanding of RESTful API design and best practices.

  • Familiarity with event-driven architecture and messaging systems (pub/sub, queues).

  • Working knowledge of Agile/Scrum practices.

  • Some experience with front-end web development, ideally React.

  • Comfort with Git, code review workflows, and automated testing (unit and integration).

  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently on well-scoped problems.

  • Clear written and verbal communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with PHP or Go.

  • Hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor or Claude Code.

  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, Docker, or Kubernetes.

  • Experience with a cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Education:

  • Bachelor's degree or international equivalent in Computer Science, Info Systems, Software, Electrical or Electronics Engineering, or comparable field of study, and/or equivalent work experience.

The hiring range for this position in Orlando, FL is $111,900 to $150,000 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate's geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered.
