Job Requirements

About the team

As a Backend Engineer, you will build and run the services that connect Disney guests to new experiences across the company. The systems you work on talk to teams and platforms well beyond our own codebase.

We write Go and we run on AWS. That is the shape of the work today, and everyone on the team has a say in where it goes next. You will build APIs, model data and take part in the trade-offs that keep our services reliable under real traffic. You will own features end to end, from design through to running them in production, with senior engineers alongside you when a problem gets hard.

You will write down your reasoning so others can follow it and challenge it. You will work with the teams whose systems we depend on, inside Disney and outside it. You will ask questions early and make the decisions that are yours to make.

One of our engineers describes the work and the team in this Life at Disney story: Leveling Up Video Gaming Experiences at Disney

What you will do

  • You design and build HTTP APIs and event consumers in Go, and you own their data models.
  • You take part in resilience and rollout decisions and write down the reasoning, so the team can follow and challenge it.
  • You own what you ship in production: the dashboards, the alerts, the follow-up.
  • You give and take code review that makes the code and the people better.
  • You improve the codebase, the tooling and the pipeline a little every week.

We think you bring

  • You have a few years of professional experience building backend services in production in a typed language. We write Go. It does not need to be on your CV, but you should be glad to make it your daily language. Rust, C#, Java, Kotlin or server-side TypeScript transfers well.
  • You have worked with relational data and at least one of message streams or queues, and you have seen them fail.
  • You test your own work and write clearly about it.
  • You go deep on things nobody asked you to learn, and you have changed your mind about a technical belief.
  • You enjoy working closely with others, including people who do not write code.
  • You want to grow, and you want to help the people around you grow too.

Nice to have: AWS, OpenAPI code generation, OIDC or Terraform. We will teach you the rest.

Where you will be

This role is remote. You can work from Sweden / Denmark / Norway / Finland. Travel may be required a few times per year, typically around 2–4 trips annually, depending on your location. Travel may include destinations within the Nordics as well as other countries.
