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 engineering team in Netflix's Los Gatos 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 the United States and Canada. 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 working with external partners and multiple internal stakeholders to implement complex systems.

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

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

  • 7+ years of experience in C/C++, Java, Go and source code management tools like GIT or similar. Experience in shell scripting, SQL, Python, JavaScript is a plus.

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

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

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

  • Ability and willingness to travel to regular regional partners when required.

  • Adaptable and thrive in a rapidly changing environment with evolving requirements. You are skilled at navigating ambiguity and taking informed risks. 

Our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top-of-market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $100,000 - $720,000.

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.
