Job Information
Netflix Engineering Manager in Sao Paulo, Brazil
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 the world's leading streaming entertainment service, with 222 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, documentaries, feature films, and mobile games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can watch as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, on any Internet-connected screen. They can also play, pause, and resume watching, all without commercials or commitments.
The Ecosystem Solutions team builds tools that help people around the world integrate their technology with the Netflix platform quickly and with the highest quality. Some of the integrations we support are Netflix Streaming, Payment, Content Discovery, and Game experiences. The results of our work can be seen around the world by hundreds of millions of Netflix members… and that number is growing every day.
We would like to find a leader who can help us build our Partner Core Components team in São Paulo.
What are “Partner Core Components?” As we have deployed more and more “partner facing” products (like the Netflix application on Smart TVs, payment integrations, voice integrations, and our mobile game SDK), we’ve noticed that there are many similarities in the tools we’ve built to support them. We are looking for a leader who can help us build a team to take the best of the capabilities from each of our tools and turn them into a set of common capabilities that can be used across our engineering teams and across our portfolio of over 60 internal and external products.
The best candidate will be truly excited by the prospect of designing and building the common components that will allow us to continue the rapid growth of our portfolio; which underpins integration, certification, and monitoring the experience for Netflix integrations across 500+ partners and over 1800 different device types (most likely including the TV sitting in your living room right now!).
A proven leader and a humble, personable self-starter with broad technical skills will be successful in this role. You should be passionate about helping others and completely unsatisfied with the status quo. In our organization, you will never run out of business opportunities or technical challenges. Let’s entertain the world – together!
You Should Apply for this Position if:
You love Netflix and want to help bring joy to millions of people
You are a great leader who can build a dream team and inspire them do great things
You can work cross-functionally with internal and external partners to coordinate and execute complex projects
You have a passion for finding commonalities between systems and refactoring them to drive efficiency
You savor the challenge of delivering software to other engineers
You love supporting other engineers and take pride in systems that are “always on”
When things go wrong, you manage and prioritize issue resolution to ensure stellar customer experience
You would like to impact the quality of consumer electronics on a global basis
You are humble, willing to learn from and collaborate with your peers, but will stand up for the ideas you believe in.
Your inclination is to cooperate with your peers vs. competing with them
You want to help shape Netflix’s first standalone engineering team in Brazil!
Technical Requirements :
You have 7+ years of experience in either technology operations or engineering
You have 5+ years of leadership experience in cloud engineering, application development, full-stack engineering, or front-end development

You have deep experience recruiting, hiring, and leading top-talent
You have strong English language skills and have experience working with English-speaking teams and stakeholders
You have experience with common Javascript full-stack tooling like ReactJS and NodeJS, as well as Java Spring Boot.
You have knowledge of cloud computing platforms, like Amazon Web Services or Azure
You have experience deploying and operating high-availability RESTful or GraphQL services.
You have experience owning delivery roadmaps and leading teams that deliver what they promise
Other Skills of Interest:
You have experience working in mobile or consumer device development
