The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Disney is hiring a AWS Engineer in Costa Mesa, CA.

• Role description

  This is a junior AWS Engineer position for the person who automated their own job once and immediately wanted to do it again. The proposition holds together — $79,000 - $119,000, 1 years, a CA base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Defend Disney uptime through the 2 a.m. Costa Mesa pages nobody volunteers for
  • Document the Google Cloud Platform system so the next junior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
  • Ship the solutions-focused Negotiation features that move Disney's technology roadmap forward
  • Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
  • Trace a technology number back through Disaster Recovery services until it finally adds up

  What You'll Bring

  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • Proven track record delivering results as a junior AWS Engineer
  • The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
  • 1+ years of Disaster Recovery reps, not just Disaster Recovery exposure
  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • Comfort with the contract cadence of a Costa Mesa-based operation

  Disney is the documentation-first Costa Mesa, CA company that technology insiders recommend but rarely the one that advertises. We believe great Disaster Recovery work comes from people who feel safe to experiment and occasionally fail.

  At Disney, you'll find $79,000 - $119,000, a four-day flex week option, and ongoing coaching to deepen your AWS skills.
