Overview
- Walt Disney Imagineering has posted a senior opening for an Executive, AI Platform Engineering to create an AI-first system that it says will change how its teams build attractions and tools.
- The role carries two mandates that include designing a platform to bring modern AI directly into Imagineers’ workflows and leading AI-powered developer infrastructure to speed software work and improve code quality.
- The executive would be based in Glendale, California, earn about $229,000 to $307,000, inherit an engineering team, and work with Disney Research and Advanced Development to turn lab breakthroughs into production systems.
- The listing arrives after OpenAI shut down its Sora video tool and reporting said a planned multibillion-dollar Disney deal fell apart, which points to Disney accelerating internal AI capabilities.
- The platform is described as creator and engineering tooling rather than a guest-facing product, and reporting notes Disney previously tested a ‘DisneyGPT’ beta as other consumer-facing AI ideas remain unannounced.
