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 .
