The ASCII team owns the foundational infrastructure that powers how Netflix engineers build software, from source control and artifact management to the CI systems that run millions of builds. We’re currently building the next generation of our CI platform on GitHub Cloud and Actions. Operating at Netflix's scale means we regularly push up against the limits of the tools and platforms we rely on, and our team builds the solutions that help those products scale with us. We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead this team through an exciting period of growth and transformation, helping Netflix engineering move faster and more reliably at scale.
