<div>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.Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence powers innovation in all areas of the business, from helping members choose the right title for them through personalization, to better understanding our audience and our content slate, to optimizing our payment processing and other revenue-focused initiatives. Building highly scalable and differentiated ML infrastructure is key to accelerating this innovation.ML models can only be as good as the data we provide them. That's why we continue to innovate on making data and feature engineering as simple, scalable, and efficient as possible. Are you interested in joining us on this mission? You will have the opportunity to build cutting-edge data and feature infrastructure that will power ML models across various domains, including personalized recommendations, payments, games, ads, and more.The OpportunityIn this role, you will have the opportunity to build a next-generation ML data and feature platform to significantly improve the productivity of ML practitioners. Our goal is to enable our ML practitioners to easily define and test ML features and labels, while our platform takes care of the computation, storage, and serving of feature values for both high-throughput training and low-latency member-scale inference use cases.&nbsp;You will also have the opportunity to build a centralized feature and embedding store to enable sharing across various ML domains. Unlocking access to these shared datasets will foster innovation through ML in new business areas that otherwise wouldn’t have been feasible. You will collaborate closely with ML practitioners and domain experts to ensure that our models are built with high-quality features and labels. You will also get to work with the broader Machine Learning Platform organization to deliver a cohesive end-user experience that significantly improves the productivity of ML practitioners.&nbsp;Here are some examples of the types of things you would work on:<ul><li>Design and build a near-real-time feature computation engine to generate ML features for both high-throughput training and low-latency inference applications.</li><li>Operate and manage the feature computation pipelines and feature serving infrastructure for various ML models across multiple ML domains.</li><li>Build and scale systems that accelerate training through performant data loading, transformation, and writing.</li><li>Create frameworks to streamline and expedite the availability of new data for training and serving.</li><li>Develop feature stores that enable feature discovery and sharing.</li><li>Increase the productivity of ML practitioners by making it easy to define and access features and labels for experimentation and productization.</li></ul>Minimum Qualifications<ul><li>Experience in building ML or data infrastructure</li><li>Strong empathy and passion for providing a fantastic user experience to ML practitioners</li><li>Experience in building and operating 24/7 high-traffic and low-latency online applications&nbsp;</li><li>Experience with large-scale data processing frameworks such as Spark, Flink, and Kafka</li><li>Experience in working with and optimizing Scala and/or Python codebases</li><li>Experience with public clouds, especially AWS</li><li>Self-driven and highly motivated team player</li></ul>Preferred Qualifications<ul><li>Experience in building and operating ML feature stores</li><li>Experience with Functional Programming</li><li>Experience working with Notebooks such as Jupyter or Polynote</li></ul>Our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses.
