Technology is at the heart of Disney’s past, present, and future. Disney Entertainment and ESPN Product & Technology (DEEP&T) is a global organization of engineers, product developers, designers, technologists, data scientists, and more – all working to build and advance the technological backbone for Disney’s media business globally.

The Disney Growth, Commerce, and Identity Experience organization powers the foundational user experiences across Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, and other Walt Disney Company business units.

In this role, you will design and develop core governance capabilities used across all of Disney's streaming platforms, collaborate closely with legal, privacy, product, and partner teams, and help shape the future of identity and data governance on the client.
