Job Description: Disney Streaming is the leading premium streaming service offering live and on-demand TV and movies, with and without commercials, both in and outside the home. Operating at the intersection of entertainment and technology, Disney Streaming has a unique opportunity to be the number one choice for TV. We captivate and connect viewers with the stories they love, and we’re looking for people who are passionate about redefining TV through innovation, unconventional thinking, and embracing fun.

Join us and see what this is all about. The Product Performance Data Solutions team for the Data organization within Disney Streaming (DS), a segment under the Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution, is in search of a Senior Data Engineer. As a member of the Product Performance team, you will work on building foundational datasets from clickstream and quality of service telemetry data – enabling dozens of engineering and analytical teams to unlock the power of data to drive key business decisions and provide engineering, analytics, and operational teams the critical information necessary to scale the largest streaming service.

• Contribute to maintaining, updating, and expanding existing data pipelines in Python / Spark while maintaining strict uptime SLAs.
• Architect, design, and code shared libraries in Scala and Python that abstract complex business logic to allow consistent functionality across all data pipelines.
• Tech stack includes Airflow, Spark, Databricks, Delta Lake, Snowflake, Scala, Python.
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, and other engineers to drive the success of the Product Performance Data and key business stakeholders.
• Contribute to developing and documenting both internal and external standards for pipeline configurations, naming conventions, partitioning strategies, and more.
• Ensure high operational efficiency and quality of datasets to meet SLAs and deliver project reliability and accuracy to all partners (Engineering, Data Science, Operations, and Analytics teams).
• Be an active participant and advocate of agile/scrum ceremonies to collaborate and improve processes for our team.
• Engage with and understand our customers, forming relationships that allow us to prioritize both innovative new offerings and incremental platform improvements.
• Maintain detailed documentation of your work and changes to support data quality and data governance requirements.

NOTE:

There will be no SPC for this role. Interview process: 4 rounds (1 with HM, 2 tech rounds, and a final with Product). We need an expert in SQL, extensive experience with Scala, and a proven self‑starter (expected to discover the outcome, and then chase after it), not only able to speak technical but also clearly articulate that information to the business.

Candidates with clickstream or user browse data experience are highly preferred.
