Job description

Netflix is seeking a software technical lead to enhance the automated CI/CD and validation infrastructure for Open Connect edge appliances. This role involves ensuring the reliability, security, and performance of the content delivery network through strong automation and testing practices.

Requirements

  • 10+ years software engineering experience, including ownership of CI/CD systems and architecting large scale test automation.
  • Strong coding ability in Python, Rust, and/or Go, with comfort writing shell scripts.
  • Deep hands-on experience with Linux and/or FreeBSD in systems contexts.
  • Strong ability to design, build, and operate cloud services that support CI/CD and test automation.
  • Experience designing automated test frameworks for reliability, performance, and integration testing.
  • Proven ability to provide technical leadership across teams.
  • Experience with modern CI systems and build and release pipelines such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
  • Strong debugging skills across distributed systems and low-level systems boundaries.

Responsibilities

  • Own and build scalable testing infrastructure and end-to-end automated validation for edge appliances.
  • Improve failure triage with AI-assisted tooling.
  • Lead and mentor engineers building and maintaining test automation.
  • Partner with OS, security, hardware, and application teams for validation.
  • Debug complex regressions across hardware/firmware/OS boundaries.
  • Build dashboards and alerting for regression detection and performance drift.

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.
