Walt Disney Imagineering's Technology Studio develops the software platforms and tools that power how Imagineers design and deliver world-class experiences. We are seeking an Executive, AI Platform Engineering to lead a transformative initiative: building the AI-first platform that will fundamentally change how Imagineering creates.
In this role, you will own two critical mandates. First, you will architect and deliver the AI platform that transforms Imagineering's design and delivery workflows—bringing modern AI capabilities directly into the hands of Imagineers. Second, you will lead the adoption of AI-powered developer infrastructure across WDI's software teams, radically improving engineering velocity and quality. You will inherit an existing engineering team while building out new capabilities, partnering closely with Disney Research and Advanced Development to bridge cutting-edge research with production-ready systems. The ideal candidate is a visionary builder who has scaled AI platforms before, brings an entrepreneurial mindset, and can rally teams around a new paradigm.
