Job description

Netflix is seeking a senior software engineer to join the TV & Web Player Platform team, focusing on test development, automation, and CI/CD processes. The role involves designing automated tests to ensure high-quality streaming experiences and optimizing build and release workflows.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience in software engineering with focus on and/or test development
  • Exceptional proficiency in JavaScript and/or Typescript
  • Strong experience with CI/CD tools (such as Jenkins, Spinnaker, or GitHub Actions)
  • Proven ability to drive quality through experimentation, including designing, running, and analyzing A/B tests
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a data-driven approach
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills
  • Experience mentoring and leveling up peers through code reviews and technical guidance
  • Nice to have: Experience in streaming media playback, architecture, and industry protocols relevant to video streaming

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement complex automated tests and strategies for streaming experiences
  • Lead efforts to optimize and automate build, integration, and release workflows
  • Drive technical direction for test automation and mentor other engineers
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve challenging problems at scale

Benefits

  • Employees at Netflix are often offered flexible, people-first benefits—unlimited time away, generous parental leave, global family-forming support, mental-health programs (mindfulness, free counseling/coaching), and health coverage tailored by country. Financially, Netflix pays at personal top-of-market and lets employees choose their mix of cash vs. fully-vested 10-year stock options, alongside donation and volunteer matching. Convenience perks can include trust-based travel/expense policies, relocation support, and “Work, Not Drive” rideshare flexibility.
