How you will contribute to our magical experience?  

Disney Financial Insights (D-Fi) is a new platform reimagining how Finance teams and budget owners across Disney interact with financial data — replacing manual pulls, static reports, and email-driven approvals with one AI-powered, orchestrated experience built on top of Disney financial systems. 

We're hiring the founding engineering team for this AI framework. One theme unifies every engineering role on D-Fi: autonomy and trust. You connect autonomous decisions back to the systems of record — ensuring every agent action is reflected, traceable, and auditable in Disney's core financial systems. You'll own the integration and systems connectivity layer that connects D-Fi to Disney's financial data ecosystem — SAP, EPM, procurement systems, and internal APIs — and the write-back integration that closes the loop between an approved decision in D-Fi and the system of record that reflects it. 

The Lead Software Engineer (ERP/EPM) will be responsible for:  

• Own integration and systems connectivity. Build and maintain API integrations against SAP, EPM (Cognos or successor), procurement systems, and internal APIs. 
• Own the EPM write-back integration. Close the approval workflow loop so approved forecast changes submitted in D-Fi are reflected in the system of record without manual intervention. 
• Own notification and alerting integrations. Build and maintain integrations with Teams and email (or other interfaces) that surface agent outputs and workflow events to users in the channels they already work in. 
• Design for reliability and auditability. Build the middleware and connectivity layer so every integration produces a traceable record of what data moved, when, and why. 
• Own error handling for cross-system workflows. Design retry, failure, and reconciliation strategies for integrations where partial failure between systems could otherwise create silent data mismatches. 

What we need from you to be part of this story: 

• 6-7+ years of software engineering experience, with deep expertise in enterprise systems integration. 
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; advanced degree a plus but not required given equivalent experience. 
• Advanced level of English (must). 
• Demonstrated experience integrating with ERP/EPM platforms (SAP, Oracle EPM/Cognos, or similar) in a production environment. 
• Strong track record designing reliable, auditable middleware — this role is accountable when data moves incorrectly between systems. 
• Comfort designing for failure: retries, reconciliation, and error handling for integrations spanning multiple systems of record. 
• Background in finance, ERP, or enterprise systems integration is a strong plus, but not required — genuine curiosity about the domain is. 

You'll be architecting, designing and writing production code. 

AI/LLM: 

• Familiarity with how agentic workflows trigger downstream system actions, sufficient to design integration points that support autonomous execution safely. 

Data & Databases: 

• Strong SQL fluency and experience mapping data models between disparate systems (e.g., SAP data structures to a unified data platform). 
• Familiarity with a modern cloud data warehouse (Snowflake preferred) as an integration target. 

Programming Languages & Engineering: 

• Strong backend language fluency (e.g., Python, Java, or Node.js) for building integration services and middleware. 
• Deep experience with API design and integration patterns — REST, webhooks, message queues/event streaming (e.g., Kafka or equivalent). 
• Experience with enterprise integration platforms or middleware (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi, or custom-built equivalents). 
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including reliability patterns like retries, circuit breakers, and dead-letter queues. 

Enterprise Systems: 

• Direct experience integrating with modern data warehouses such as Snowflake and/or financial systems such as SAP or EPM are required. 
• Experience with procurement systems (e.g., Coupa) strongly preferred. 
• Experience with Microsoft Teams and email notification/alerting integrations.
