Job description

The Frontend Developer we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Disney is honest about both. Everything here scales with you — $92,000 - $127,000 at 5 years, technology ownership soon after, and a Disney ladder above.

Key Responsibilities

• Catch the ambitious gRPC regression in staging before it ever reaches Warwick customers
• Hand off gRPC runbooks so the next on-call at Disney sleeps better
• Build the REST API tooling that makes every other Warwick engineer faster
• Read the Google Cloud stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Automate the manual CI/CD chores that quietly drain Warwick, RI engineering hours

What You'll Bring

• At least 5 years of standing behind your own estimates
• A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
• 4 or more years steering technology projects end to end
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment
• Practical command of gRPC, with bonus points for Next.js
• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations

Disney is where curious, service-minded people come to build the future of technology. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on REST API and AWS, not bureaucracy.

Beyond $92,000 - $127,000, Disney offers a generous benefits package and the chance to lead projects that build your skills.

Re-dated this morning, Disney continues hiring for the Frontend Developer role.
