The Walt Disney Studios' Studio Technology team is looking to solve the problem of building the intelligent backbone that powers global content operations by designing cloud-native, AI-driven systems that help deliver Disney’s stories to audiences everywhere. This involves shaping the future of media workflows where automation, orchestration, and creative technology converge to redefine how stories are made and shared.
Requirements
- Proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Python, Java, Kotlin, or JavaScript.
- Solid understanding of data structures, object-oriented programming and RESTful API design.
- Foundational knowledge of artificial intelligence, including generative models and/or neural networks (coursework and personal projects count).
- Interest in event-driven or cloud-native software architectures.
- Coursework or hands-on experience in machine learning, natural language processing, or cloud platforms (especially AWS).
- Familiarity with workflow automation technologies such as orchestration engines, state machines, or business rules systems.
Responsibilities
- Build and support applications and cloud workflows that use AI and machine learning, including large language models, transcription, voice synthesis, subtitling systems, and decision engines for process automation.
- Contribute to proofs of concept for agentic, event-driven workflow orchestration that blend automation with human judgment across content pipelines.
- Write and test maintainable, modular code in Python, Java, Kotlin, or JavaScript to solve real-world problems in media localization, manufacturing and accessibility.
- Apply AI tools and coding assistants throughout the software development lifecycle to accelerate development, generate test cases, and improve code quality.
- Collaborate with engineers, ML specialists, product owners, and stakeholders to translate creative and operational needs into scalable technical solutions.
- Participate in engineering ceremonies such as Agile sprints, architecture reviews, and internal learning sessions to grow your technical and collaborative skills.
- Support efforts to evaluate, refine, and deploy AI models for subtitling, dubbing, captioning, and audio descriptions.
Other
- Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to contribute effectively in a diverse, cross-functional team.
- Interest in media technology, localization, or post-production processes.
- Junior or Senior year preferred
- Major or previous coursework in Computer Science or related field
