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.

 We are expanding our Partner Engineering team in Netflix's Amsterdam office. As a member of this team, you will serve as the technical interface between Netflix and the engineering teams of our TV & mobile network partners in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. You will represent our partners and their needs and interests to other Netflix teams as much as you represent Netflix and our needs and interests to our partners.

We want to delight our customers with a service that just works, always. This requires our engineers to have a truly full-stack understanding of the Netflix experience, from playback device architecture to the design and implementation of our B2B subscription APIs. You will be successful at this job if you have a strong foundation in software engineering, experience building complete systems, and enjoy clearly communicating complex concepts.

The job expectations are broad: one day, you will diagnose a playback issue detected on a device by reading system logs and comparing them to the source code, and another day, you will triage a partner's payment glitch by examining the behavior of REST API calls. The next day, you may be reviewing the high-level architecture of a partner's integration to provide design feedback.

This is not a software development job. However, we expect our engineers to have a strong foundation in software engineering so they can engage with our internal and external engineering colleagues as respected technical peers.

Our unique company culture and values are essential to the way the Partner Engineering team operates. Learn more about .

What you will be doing:

  • Work with external partners to integrate, test, deploy, and improve the Netflix streaming application, content discovery APIs, and billing integration APIs over the entire device lifecycle using Netflix tools and data.

  • Manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables over multiple partner engagements. 

  • Test partner devices, which includes black-box testing using our in-house testing suite.

  • Collaborate with our data analytics team to discover, triage, and resolve post-launch payment API and playback issues.

  • Represent the needs and feedback of our partners with headquarters product and engineering teams in California.

  • Recognize opportunities for improvement in process or tooling and implement changes to deliver the same or better quality with less effort.

What we are looking for: 

  • Experience with streaming devices, or related applicable skills in embedded devices and other small systems.

  • Experience with backend API (Rest/GraphQL) and B2B API integration.

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical, or equivalent practical experience.

  • At least 7 years of experience in one or more of C/C++, Java, Rust, or Go. Experience in SQL, Python, and JavaScript is a plus.

  • Experience with streaming device operating systems (Linux, Android) and middleware.

  • Experience working with external partners or multiple internal stakeholders to implement complex systems.

  • Demonstrated history of delivering on full development lifecycle and multiple successful releases.

  • Ability and willingness to travel to Netflix’s Los Gatos, California headquarters, as well as regular regional EMEA partners when required.

  • English proficiency is required. Additional language proficiency is highly valued, especially in French or Spanish. 

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.
