Job description

Netflix is seeking a software engineer for the Cryptography Services team, which focuses on building and maintaining cryptographic services to ensure data security and system reliability. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver secure solutions and participating in on-call support for critical services.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, including several years focused on security or cryptography.
  • Advanced proficiency in Java (required), with experience building scalable and resilient distributed systems.
  • Deep expertise in TLS, certificate management, and secure communications at scale.
  • Knowledge of key management, HSMs, and applied cryptography in production environments.
  • Experience building and automating security solutions for distributed, high-availability systems.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain cryptographic services used by platforms and applications across Netflix.
  • Develop features and enhancements for our Crypto-as-a-Service platform, PKI, and certificate lifecycle management tools.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to deliver secure, reliable, and developer-friendly solutions.
  • Participate in our on-call rotation, supporting high-availability services that are critical to Netflix’s security posture.
  • Help drive our vision to centralize and standardize cryptographic solutions for repeatable, broadly applicable use cases.

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.
