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.

At Netflix, we want to entertain the world and are constantly innovating how entertainment is imagined, created, and delivered to a global audience. Engineering teams within Netflix work hard every day to scale and innovate content production and member experiences in an ever-growing complex software landscape.  

Content Engineering (CE) builds the products and services used by our internal and external creative partners to create, launch, and promote our global content and ads. Our products enable the entire workflow of content creation, from pitch to play, and provide innovative new ways to develop and manage entertainment at scale. 

Content Infrastructure & Solutions (CIS) empowers engineers in CE working on content and studio applications to be innovative and agile in supporting our massive global content production needs. We do that by providing scalable and resilient infrastructure to address integrated large-scale media, assets, data, workflow, and communication use cases. 

The Content MiddleWare Infrastructure team (MWI), part of the Content Infrastructure & Solutions group, provides Studio and Content Engineering-specific, highly leveraged, and fully managed data, workflow, and messaging and communication platforms that facilitate the goal of the Connected Studio. To learn more about what the MWI team does, check out the following tech blogs: workflow (, ), search (, , ), and data movement (, ).

We are hiring a Full Stack Engineer for the MWI team in the US to take on the following responsibilities:

  • Spearhead innovation and feature development across self-service UIs, shared UI components, full-stack engineering, and DevEx domains, supporting diverse team needs as they arise - examples include visualizations for knowledge graphs and unification of self-service UIs for the workflow platforms.

  • Promote cross-team consistency and efficiency within MWI, with the potential to extend these efforts across CIS and CE. This includes contributing to and driving the adoption of UI Paved Road, ensuring consistent DevOps practices through implementing browser-based monitoring (e.g., Sentry), enhancing end-to-end (E2E) and screenshot testing, and improving analytics and usage tracking, among other initiatives.

  • Foster collaboration among MWI and CIS engineering teams to create a connected and streamlined user experience.

  • Lead efforts in tooling discovery, establish shared processes, and enhance documentation - examples include Tracing, Interconnectivity, and deep linking across systems.

  • Identify and explore new opportunities to drive innovation within MWI’s products and platforms, and lead targeted projects with an emphasis on rapid prototyping to deliver value quickly via POCs and MVPs.

  • Mentor less senior full-stack engineers on the team, and provide guidance in UI development and user experience practices.

What we are looking for

You are self-motivated and can work independently, while also being able to partner closely with other engineers on a project. You are passionate about building quality products and want to own development end-to-end, leading with the right architecture, and following sound engineering principles to deliver maintainable, performant, and highly developer-friendly experience. You are a problem solver and like to challenge yourself, but you are not afraid to reach out when you need help and enjoy helping other engineers.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working full stack (with a strong frontend skillset)

You’re not afraid to work full stack, and have a solid frontend skill set. We typically use Java on the backend and Typescript/React + GraphQL on the frontend, but we understand that good engineers can work in many different languages and frameworks. As a full stack engineer you should be comfortable turning ideas into usable, useful user interfaces and implementing backend API endpoints and integrations.

Experience operating a production system 

To effectively build operational tooling, you should know what it’s like to operate a service yourself. Likewise, the reliability of operational tooling needs to be incredibly high since these are tools that other engineers rely on to tell them if something is going wrong and to troubleshoot issues. Random frontend bugs or unreliable data can make it difficult for engineers using your tools to troubleshoot issues.

Experience building platforms, tooling, or infrastructure for other engineers

Building services and tooling for other engineers to consume is a bit different than building a line of business applications or standard microservices. A strong platform and infrastructure mindset, long-term thinking, and the ability to understand what other engineers need will set you up for success in this role.

You have a passion for clean, well-tested performant code

This means you are dedicated to writing code that is not only functional but also maintainable and efficient. You understand the importance of comprehensive testing to ensure reliability and prevent future issues. You strive for optimal performance in your code, focusing on speed and resource efficiency. Your commitment to these principles helps create robust and scalable systems that other engineers can depend on and build upon with confidence.

Nice to have

  • You’ve advocated for reliability and operational excellence in other roles

  • Experience building self-service toolings

  • A good grasp of UX fundamentals (from an engineering perspective)

  • Experience building user interfaces for other engineers

  • Experience both collaborating with a designer and moving forward without direct designer support using component libraries or self-designed UI components.

is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates. If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.

Job is open for no less than 7 days and will be removed when the position is filled.
