The Early Playback Enablement team mission is to enable media player engineers and QA partners to validate video and audio playback across our player stack by creating and managing test-streams, mocking relevant services, and removing related impediments. We help support new platforms, accelerate the development of our in-house media player, and improve playback quality across the Disney media ecosystem.
Our team is seeking someone to help expand our capabilities to better serve video and audio playback test scenarios.
Your primary initiative will be to collaborate with playback involved teams to ensure our software provides a foundation for media playback innovation at Disney.
You are an opinionated optimist who always leaves the code that you are working on better than you found it. You foster trust, approach problems with empathy and respect, and embrace creativity. You see yourself as a partner who excels in problem solving, puts users first, and cares deeply about quality.
