Job description

Netflix is seeking an Internationalization Engineer to enhance its global audience experience. This role involves collaborating with engineering and product teams to implement internationalization best practices and develop scalable solutions that support Netflix's global ambitions.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in internationalization engineering, especially for web platforms and integrating internationalization frameworks into production systems.
  • Strong foundation in software design and architecture, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Experience delivering scalable, highly available, high-performance applications.
  • Passion for contributing to open source, ideally within the ICU and CLDR ecosystems.
  • Clear, confident communication and presentation skills.
  • Deep expertise in JavaScript, Node.js, and React, with expert-level Java knowledge.
  • Hands-on experience building full-stack systems on AWS.
  • Extensive experience with Spring Boot and Gradle in production environments.
  • Comfort using modern development tools, web services, and advanced scripting techniques.
  • Proven ability to externalize and manage localizable content stored in databases.
  • Experience designing internationalization tooling and automation for continuous localization workflows.
  • Thorough understanding of Unicode, ICU4J, CLDR, and related internationalization standards.
  • Practical experience leveraging AI to accelerate and improve software development.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as an internationalization evangelist across Netflix.
  • Champion the adoption of ICU and CLDR standards throughout the organization.
  • Define and drive the internationalization roadmap.
  • Partner closely with Product Managers to ensure business decisions align with internationalization best practices.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership to product and engineering teams.
  • Embed with product teams to help internationalize code and improve overall localizability.
  • Build backend services, frontend applications, and automation tools to support global scale.
  • Design and implement internationalization tooling and conformance checks.
  • Develop, maintain, test, debug, and deploy production-ready internationalization libraries.

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.
