About The Role & Team:

The Data Analytics & Innovation (DAi) team within Disney Experiences Intelligence (DXi) builds and operates the data platforms, AI-powered applications, and intelligence systems that turn raw data into insight and action across Disney's premier vacation brands. We are actively modernizing onto a cloud-native data platform while building AI applications from the ground up on our internal AI frameworks. We are looking for an engineer first. Someone who can sit with an ambiguous, complex problem, listen carefully to what the business actually needs, and design an optimized solution rather than reach for the first pattern that fits. This role goes well beyond ETL. As a Data Engineer III, you will engineer AI-powered applications end to end, from architecture and design through build and delivery, using our AI frameworks as the foundation. You will bring core data disciplines (pipelining, transformation, and the full data lifecycle) and apply them with strong engineering judgment: weighing tradeoffs, designing for performance and scale, and building solutions that hold up over time. You will also work directly with our partners in Data Strategy and AI Innovation, fellow teams under the DAi umbrella, to align on priorities and turn strategy into working solutions. Just as important, you will thrive in an AI-powered environment that changes daily. The tools, frameworks, and capabilities available to us evolve constantly, and we need engineers who stay curious, adapt quickly, and figure out how to put new capabilities to work rather than wait for the ground to settle.
