Description/Comment: As a Sr Software Engineer, you will focus on engineering beautiful user interfaces and interactions. You will use your deep UI engineering and creative skills to take an influential role in iterating and continuously deploying new features, functionality, and products to our customers. You will be an important part of a lean DevOps and automation culture where we'll be looking for you to collaborate with the backend and product teams to build optimized experiences for our end-users. We want someone that has grown up through the web software development ranks - possessing 5-10 years' experience in designing and architecting highly scalable and performant web applications while doing highly creative, detail oriented front-end web development.

The candidate must be fluent in ES6 JavaScript/TypeScript, while also combining expertise with modern reactive JavaScript libraries, tools, and runtimes to engineer abstract, secure, reusable, and testable UI components and applications. The right person should also blend his/her engineering abilities with a sense of pixel-perfect craftsmanship, turning user stories, wireframes, and prototypes into fully functional UI components and applications.

We strive to get things done quickly, at high quality, and we are committed to the agile methodology. Our work is guided by lean principles (looking at value and looking for waste; not doing anything 'for the sake of doing it').
We're looking for a passionate, impactful, technical contributor who wants to come here to do their very best work and make their mark, add their chapter to the long and storied history of The Walt Disney Company. Someone who holds themselves and their teammates accountable in a professional, collaborative manner. A collaborative technologist who seeks to bring the best out in themselves and those around them..

Basic Qualifications: This is a hands-on software development position with the majority of your day focused on writing code, researching, troubleshooting and resolving issues and improving applications through business requests, technical debt improvements, and R&D of new technology. You will also help support several legacy applications as we migrate functionality to new applications.
Candidates will have a strong development background with a focus in Python along with experience in building enterprise level applications, databases, data warehouses and familiarity with ETL type technologies.

Primary skills:
Collaborate with other engineers to design and architect cloud native and service-oriented UI components and applications
Collaborate with team and peers to design complex applications, peer review code, and suggest optimization
Reason logically and creatively, identifying problems, drawing valid conclusions from the data available, and develop effective solutions while applying creative thinking in the design and development of high performing web applications
Collaborate with and influence product teams to build and maintain design system standards, processes, and adoption
Check-in valuable, clean code on a daily basis that adds new features and capabilities

Investigate and resolve any production issues from end user (UI) to service layer and work to prevent them
