Job description

Netflix is seeking distributed systems engineers to innovate and evolve their data infrastructure. The role involves building scalable, secure, and high-leverage infrastructure for data platforms, focusing on collaboration and problem-solving in a diverse team environment.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in building large-scale distributed systems features or applications.
  • Proficient in the design and development of RESTful web services.
  • Experienced in building and operating scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed systems.
  • Experienced in Java or other object-oriented programming languages.
  • Comfortable tackling multi-threading challenges.
  • BS in Computer Science or a related field.

Responsibilities

  • Solve real business needs at large scale by applying software engineering and analytical problem-solving skills.
  • Architect and build a robust, scalable, and highly available distributed infrastructure.
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives and collaborate with engineers, product managers, and TPM across teams.
  • Share experiences with open source communities and contribute to Netflix OSS.

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.
