If you're passionate about designing and engineering complex, large-scale data products, come join us! We're seeking a Lead Data Product Engineer to architect, build, and optimize enterprise-grade data solutions. You'll own the full lifecycle of data products, from ingestion and transformation to architecture and enablement, while ensuring reliability and scalability.

As a technical lead, you'll shape data product design, define contracts and schemas, and partner closely with data source owners, engineers, architects, and end-user teams. This is not a pure coding role, instead, you will engineer the product layer of data, designing assets, writing queries, and translating complex source data into consumable products that data engineers implement and scale.

You will sit within Data Products & Platforms for Disney Experiences, collaborating with internal teams and technical leaders across the company.

You Will

• Architect and deliver enterprise data models, schemas, and contracts to support multi-source ingestion, transformation, and consumption at scale.
• Own the full product lifecycle for data domains, including design, versioning, governance, and deprecation.
• Define and evolve technical strategies for high-volume operational and analytical workloads.
• Act as the data and technical subject matter expert, covering not only your domain and products but also the enablement capabilities of our modern data ecosystem with partners.
• Partner with architects and data engineers to design and implement scalable, secure, high-throughput pipelines and consumption-ready data products.
• Translate business requirements into technical specifications and engineering deliverables.
• Perform deep reviews and gap assessments of existing data flows, modernizing legacy pipelines into modern cloud-native ecosystems.
• Manage technical acceptance criteria, SLAs, timelines, and cost controls for data products.
• Represent the data product engineering function in executive forums, advocating for technical excellence and data-driven strategy.
