Senior Systems Reliability Engineer

Job Description

From movie concept to film production. Global premiere to direct to consumer mobile applications. You will innovate and deliver solutions that support a studio whose content is legendary and transcends generations.
We're looking for passionate engineers who love learning new technologies at a rapid pace. You should be intimately familiar with large scale data center infrastructure as well as cloud environments, and as comfortable in the shell as you are in an IDE. Lean, agile, self-sufficient teams is how we operate. We value a cloud first approach where we develop infrastructure-as-code. Automation should always do the work. You will be a part of the team that provides cutting edge film making systems in the public cloud, focused on automation and infrastructure-as-code for all studios under the Disney umbrella.
Your passion for engineering systems is visible to your team, stakeholders and in everything you and your team delivers. You take engineering film production seriously, and that will help you make decisions that drive value every day. You are:
• A master problem solver. You take deep pride in your work and view each new problem as an opportunity for success; you approach challenges creatively, but methodically.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. You face change with a cool head and persevere even if you don't have all the details; you are comfortable moving between projects and facing uncertainty because risk and change motivates you to evolve and innovate.
• Technically astute. You rapidly learn new skills, grasping complicated technical information that often leaves others lost whether it's product, industry, or hard tech knowledge, you absorb it quickly and are ready for more.
• Goal oriented. You develop and actualize vision, mission, and strategy into a cohesive outcome through capable team management, tactical execution, and unrelenting focus on daily progress; you connect business and technology strategies to the software you deliver and can easily articulate the value created.

• Strong knowledge in system management languages (e.g. Terraform, Ansible)
• Operating systems and systems management (e.g. Amazon Linux, Windows)
• Multiple scripting languages in your toolbox (e.g. Python, GO, Ruby, or Swift)
• Authentication tool-sets such as Active Directory, LDAP, Ping Identity
• Experience working with observability tools for optimal performance and 24/7 reliability (e.g. DataDog, New Relic, Grafana)
