Experience Inc. Jobs

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services with over 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 has been on the leading edge of the cloud since beginning the migration to AWS 15 years ago and runs one of the largest Cloud footprints around. The Cloud Engineering organization exists to manage that massive scale, constantly innovating to increase fleet-wide agility, efficiency, and reliability of the Netflix cloud infrastructure, while solving scale problems that we are the first to ever hit. We build, operate, and maintain Compute, Network, and Storage services so that developers at Netflix can rely on foundational building blocks when entertaining hundreds of millions of customers around the world. Join us as we push the boundaries of performance and resilience, empowering developers to create groundbreaking applications on a reliable platform.

We are looking to add new stunning colleagues to the teams outlined below.

Team Spotlights:

Compute Abstractions

We believe getting up and running in the cloud quickly should be the easiest step to getting your service running in the cloud. To help our internal customers do this, we offer configurations on our platform, Titus, that abstract away compute resource complexity. We also offer managed scaling which learns from a given service's behavior to adjust scaling policies for more efficiency and responsiveness. We see the future as one where our customers can "set it and forget it" while we take care of the evolving compute changes and how they match their service's needs for scalability, right-sizing for cost efficiency, and optimizing for safety.

Traffic Engineering

We build robust capabilities for end-to-end traffic management, including region failover and traffic shaping. You'll build and operate services that translate predictions into infrastructure capacity for various services and automate/operationalize scaling for Live events at Netflix to handle large traffic spikes to meet the demands of live events in real time. This means working closely with our talented Data Science engineers to develop predictive traffic shaping models and translate them into actionable strategies for scaling our fleet.

Runtime

Every engineer at Netflix works under the “build it, run it” model and our job is to make it safe, easy, and performant for them to run what they build. We own the host-level foundation for Netflix’s server fleet: the customized base operating system and core services that enable the secure and efficient operation of hosts across Netflix. We build core services that enable the provisioning and operation of large server fleets and own the data plane of our centrally managed container platform, Titus.

Must-have skills:

• 7+ years of professional Software Engineering experience, preferably with recent technical leadership

• Recent and proficient experience with Java, C++, Go, Python, or similar

• Experience building & operating highly reliable distributed systems in a cloud environment

• Passion for technology, pragmatic thinking, ability to jump into an ambiguous area and break down complex problems

What you'll be doing:

• Building and operating Services, APIs, and Tooling for a variety of use-cases

• Balancing bias to action with the ability to make well-informed bets

• Engaging directly with end engineering users to understand their needs and improve their experience

• Understanding and solving business needs at scale with high-quality solutions

• Leaning into proactiveness and effective communication in pursuit of cross-functional alignment

Success criteria:

• You thrive in ambiguity; complex and fuzzy requirements are more common than clearly defined customer expectations

• You take incremental steps toward solving big problems; test and learn approaches work better than heads down development

• You are independent and self driven; progress is often self-directed by teams & individuals

• You’ve read about Netflix’s culture and think you would thrive here

Here are a few recent talks and posts from members of the team to highlight the work we do:
