Job Details

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

As a full stack engineer on our Game Lifecycle team, you’ll work closely with amazing colleagues to create solutions that make it easy to get games onto the Netflix platform. You’ll get to help scale gaming at Netflix and be part of supporting game developers as they create games that bring joy to millions. Our users and stakeholders are many and varied, and every day is different - you’ll work with different cross-functional partners to solve large problems and help define the future of the Netflix game developer platform.

Our ideal candidate is a true full-stack engineer who is interested in every part of a feature - from a glimmer of an idea, to a released solution that needs to be supported long-term. The day-to-day work for this role is generally more heavy on the frontend, but we also value strong backend skills and owning features end-to-end. You’ll succeed in this role by drawing from your web development skills, strong product mindset, and experience working on and maintaining live services or games.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of full stack development experience

  • Strong programming skills in Typescript/Javascript

  • Strong UI programming skills (we use React)

  • Experience integrating with backend services

  • Experience building tools for developers

Nice to have

  • Strong backend programming skills in one of Java/Javascript/Typescript

  • Experience or strong interest in the gaming industry

  • Experience working on a live production system

  • Experience with GraphQL and React

Who you are

  • You thrive in an environment of ambiguity - you don’t always need a spec to be comfortable and you understand that things can change quickly

  • You value collaboration and can effectively build strong relationships with cross-functional teams

  • You’re focused on solving problems without an ego - you’re comfortable making decisions yourself and driving solutions, but you’re equally happy to be a supporting player when that’s what’s best for Netflix

  • You’re pragmatic and thoughtful - you consider tradeoffs and aren’t frustrated by having to compromise

  • You have strong empathy for developers and you’re interested in building creative solutions to help game developers do the best work of their lives
