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 in **modern** Java (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.
