What You Will Work On
You'll work across the full spectrum, from product-facing features that directly impact acquisition and retention, to the platform infrastructure that makes them possible at Netflix scale.
You'll partner with product managers, designers, and data scientists to build commerce experiences that drive growth. Recent examples: our systems enabled the , helped launch the Ads-supported plan, and enabled new features for premium members.
On the platform side, you'll tackle distributed systems challenges: race conditions, consistency guarantees and throughput optimization. You’ll evolve our infrastructure to keep pace with Netflix's expanding commerce surface (Ads, Games, Live Streaming). You'll also be part of the on-call rotation for these Tier 0 services, owning production reliability end-to-end.
We're Eager to Talk to You If:
You have 10+ years of experience building resilient, high-scale, low-latency distributed systems in production.
You thrive in ambiguity, possessing a platform mindset that allows you to easily translate vague business directives into clear, scalable, and maintainable technical solutions.
You are dedicated to operational excellence and have dealt with hard correctness problems: race conditions, eventual consistency, and distributed transactions.
You exhibit extreme ownership of your domain and have successfully led complex engineering projects from inception to delivery, proactively improving critical systems along the way.
You excel in cross-functional environments and communicate complex technical trade-offs clearly to non-engineering partners.
Some nice to haves:
Working experience with {Java || Kotlin || C# || Scala}, ElasticSearch, Kafka, Hive or AWS.
Experience with Presto and/or Spark SQL, Apache Flink
Proficient with gRPC, GraphQL, or RESTful API design and implementation.
Experience with SQL & NoSQL multi-region data stores such as Cassandra, Amazon Aurora, Memcached.
Comfortable with production on-call responsibilities and incident response for Tier 0 services.
