The Role

At Netflix, we want to entertain the world and are constantly innovating on 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.

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. 

Qualifications

  • Proficient with gRPC, GraphQL, or RESTful API design and implementation.

  • Have recent proficient experience with Java, C#, or other OO programming languages with a solid understanding of OO design principles, concurrency, multi-threading, performance tuning, and observability.

  • Seek different perspectives, feedback, and relevant information to continuously grow and improve.

  • Maintain strong relationships with cross-functional teams through clear communication.

  • Comfortable asking questions and seeking knowledge in unfamiliar or ambiguous situations.

  • You evangelize new ideas and exemplify technical leadership with a bias for action.

  • You appreciate the complexity of engaging with a global challenge.

Spotlight on Content Engineering Teams:

Content Preview Engineering

The Netflix Preview Club (NPC) is a program where select Netflix subscribers are given the opportunity to watch and provide feedback on upcoming Netflix content before it is officially released to the general public. Participants in the club will share their opinions on various aspects of the shows or movies they watch, which can help Netflix in making final adjustments and improvements. The Content Preview Engineering team builds the systems that support screening creation, subscriber provisioning, and new member onboarding for NPC.

Promotional Video Engineering

Promotional Video Engineering builds the products and services our creative partners use to maximize the reach of every title we launch, helping our members discover what to watch on Netflix while also driving conversation off Netflix. If you’ve ever watched a trailer for Netflix content on social media or seen clips play while browsing Netflix, you’ve experienced our impact. We enable the creation, localization, and review of clips and trailers at scale through a suite of applications that help manage millions of short videos. Some of our key technical challenges include: automated assembly of promotional videos, adapting video to different formats and aspect ratios, and managing video files and their associated metadata.

Source Acquisition Platform

The Source Acquisition Platform team is responsible for the applications and services touching the acquisition, management, and evaluation of assets such as video, music and effects, subtitles, dubs, and everything used to create shows and movies available on Netflix. Our suite of services is the bedrock for applications used both internally, by Netflix creative employees, and externally by our content and fulfillment partners, creative agencies, and freelancers, curating the best and largest on-demand catalog in the world. Acquisition and Evaluation of audiovisual assets is critical for our success and to provide first-class experience to Netflix members. To achieve that, we work closely with teams in data science, encoding, catalog, and content distribution to ingest, encode, store, manage, and deploy media worldwide.

Marketing Technology Engineering (MarTech)

MarTech Engineering is reinventing how we enable Marketing to spark, amplify, and shape conversations that put us in the cultural zeitgeist. We want everything we put out in the world to create ripples that reach even wider audiences. We are building products that enable the entire workflow of marketing campaigns to scale globally. We focus on marketing assets; the main way in which a campaign comes to life, and which allows us to tell stories about Netflix stories. This team closely partners with Product Management, UX Design, Data Scientists, UI Engineering, and various marketing business teams to define and implement strategies to optimize the planning of marketing assets, including those in our social media channels. You will help us build technologies to empower our creative partners to efficiently manage creative assets that drive conversations at scale. You will architect, design, and implement backend services that power products used internally at Netflix, as well as externally by our content,  fulfillment partners, creative agencies, and freelancers that work with Netflix to promote one of the best entertainment catalogs in the world. 
 

A few more things about us:

As a team, we come from many different countries and our fields of education range from the humanities to engineering to computer science. Our team includes product managers, program managers, designers, full-stack developers, distributed systems engineers, and data scientists. Folks have the opportunity to wear different hats, should they choose to.
