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

Netflix is revolutionizing the media and entertainment industry. Underpinning this revolution are leading-edge technology efforts in Cloud Infrastructure (running on Amazon Web Services) and Open Connect Content Delivery which are the foundational components that deliver a great Netflix experience to our members around the globe. 

We are looking for an Associate to join our Technology Finance & Strategy team focusing on Live infrastructure capacity planning and driving efficient resource utilization of our Amazon Web Services infrastructure (i.e. “before you press play” experience which represents sign-up, login, personalization, search, etc.). You will be partnering with leaders and senior engineers across dozens of Engineering teams to provide best-in-class capacity operations and deep analytics. 

As a team, we are responsible for driving efficient resource utilization and scaling of our infrastructure. We have centralized these responsibilities to a select group of individuals who have become experts in infrastructure operations and optimization. This role would be acting as the financial “watchtower,” responsible for daily, weekly, and monthly optimizations that accumulate savings in the millions of dollars. 

On the Live infrastructure capacity planning side, you will partner with Engineering & Data Science to answer questions such as “How many members will watch the upcoming ?” and “How do we translate that into our cloud and content delivery network capacity needs?” and then lead the Cloud planning efforts to ensure the additional capacity requirements are met. 

The ideal candidate will be highly analytical, operationally focused, an effective communicator, and have a critical eye for the small details. Ideal candidates have a proven track record of cross-functional project management and analytics experience. We are a self-service, data-driven organization so previous experience with query languages such as SQL, a scripting language (e.g., Python), or a strong desire to learn these skills is strongly preferred. The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment, possess a high degree of intellectual curiosity, and be results-driven while upholding the highest personal and professional integrity and ethics. 

In addition to intellectual curiosity and aptitude, we look for candidates who are excited by technology, either professionally or personally. Since we are deeply intertwined with our business partners in the Technology organization, the ability to connect specific engineering initiatives to the broader Netflix business impact is critical to success. 

This role will report directly to the Senior Manager, Technology Finance & Strategy, and is based in our Los Gatos, CA office.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Own the cloud financial reservation purchasing and optimization process & experience across a compute footprint of millions of CPUs across 5+ AWS regions. ()

  • Collaborate horizontally across all Engineering teams to understand day-to-day and week-to-week increases in usage to make the optimal financial reservation decisions. 

  • Work directly with our AWS partners to guide their reservation product roadmap. 

  • Extensive analysis of our cloud infrastructure, focused on optimization and efficiency opportunities. Based on findings, propose solutions and project manage cross-functional teams (e.g. software engineers, data engineers, analytics/viz engineers) through implementation. 

  • Drive Cloud capacity planning efforts for our large Live events slate.

  • Network with peer companies who have similar responsibilities to share and learn best practices. 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 4+ years of experience in a highly analytical environment -- worked in a consulting firm, strategy & operations, technical program management, or analytics at a technology company, or similarly demanding functions in which strategic analysis, partner management, and operational optimization is essential.

  • Experience working with cloud providers in a financial/capacity operations role is a big plus. 

  • Experience working as a business partner with technical engineering teams in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment.

  • Ability and willingness to quickly learn internal tools to independently (self-service) explore and analyze high-volume datasets.

  • Working proficiency with SQL or other query languages. 

  • Expert with Excel or Google Sheets.

  • Degree in economics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, or other relevant field (or equivalent work experience) that demonstrates quantitative competence.

Generally, 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 $50,000 - $240,000

Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs.  Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off.
