Job Details

Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with 278 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.

The Role

Who We Are

We deploy hundreds of microservices, across multiple regions, tens of thousands of instances, and have millions of client devices with our software installed. That's a lot of infrastructure and software that collectively work together to give customers an end product they love to use. Ensuring availability and reliability across that scale is a task that's taken on by our amazing Netflix engineers through full operational ownership of their software.

Our team, Telemetry Engineering, builds software to provide real-time operational insight to our 1000’s of engineers and teams across Netflix. This requires collecting, streaming, and persisting operational data, HUGE amounts of it, and making that data accessible through flexible APIs and visualizations. 

The Opportunity

Our team is looking for a Telemetry Collections Engineer familiar with Go and C++, our two primary programming languages for agents, to help design the user experience design and implementation for telemetry collection at Netflix. The goal is to deliver a consistent and dependable development and operations experience for users of the metrics, tracing and logs platforms. You will collaborate with both users and developers of the core telemetry libraries and collectors. This role will be part engineer, part DevOps engineer and part support engineer, with a focus on enabling the success of other engineers at Netflix when they use our tools, agents and SDKs to build and operate applications.

You should be able to understand and empathize with the customer development and operating experience so that you can leverage these inputs in your designs. You should be able to determine and establish consistent data reporting formats across the tools, in order to support the creation of managed experiences.

You should be able to read existing library and collector code bases so that you can submit pull requests to drive your recommendations forward. You should be able to write and maintain highly performant collectors that can run across the entire Netflix fleet. You should be comfortable prototyping new open-source telemetry libraries, in order to determine whether or not they will be useful to the Netflix ecosystem, and conducting performance testing to validate whether or not they can sustain the sampling rates that will be required. You should be ready to provide consulting and support to both data producers and consumers as a part of maintaining data quality across telemetry platforms.

One of your outputs will be documentation and training materials for the library and collector ecosystem, intended to ease on-boarding for new engineers and to provide useful references for experienced users of these tools.

You will be in charge of investigating and determining the best strategy for instrumenting third-party services both inside and outside of the protected network, and ensuring that Netflix engineers can enjoy a full observability experience across all of the services they run, wherever they are located.

If you enjoy working in a and building systems at scale that are critical to delivering the Netflix streaming experience, then come join our team!

What You Bring to the Table

  • Expertise building consistent and reliable client libraries and agents, with the ability to manage change responsibly across version releases.

  • Knowledge of the Go, C++, Java  and the ecosystem. Other languages, such as Node.js or Python, are a plus.

  • Experience with instrumenting the collection of metrics, tracing and logs in applications and the ability to form opinions on what a streamlined developer experience should look like.

  • Strong Cloud/DevOps skills to help our team successfully roll out changes to our Telemetry systems for users.

  • eBPF knowledge and experience building eBPF programs is a strong plus

  • A positive attitude and the ability to empathize with the customer experience, while finding reasonable solutions that drive the state-of-the-practice of telemetry collection forward to a better place.

Sharing Is Caring

In this group, you'll have a chance to create software that is state-of-the-art and foundational. Because of Netflix's desire to share technology and concepts, you'll be in the rare position of both working on this and sharing this knowledge with your peers outside Netflix. We believe this is unique to Netflix, and if it sounds amazing to you, we should talk.
