Job description

Netflix is seeking Distributed Systems Engineers to innovate and evolve their data infrastructure. The role involves building scalable, reliable systems that support various business functions and enhance data-driven decision-making across the company.

Requirements

  • 7+ years experience in crafting complex, scalable distributed data infrastructure
  • Proficiency in Java, C++, Golang, or Python with a solid understanding of multi-threading and memory management
  • Proven track record of developing and maintaining high-impact systems
  • Experience building and operating scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed systems
  • You have a BS in Computer Science or a related field

Responsibilities

  • Solving real business needs at a large scale by applying your software engineering and analytical problem-solving skills
  • Architecting and building a robust, scalable, and highly available distributed infrastructure
  • Leading cross-functional initiatives and collaborating with engineers, product managers, and TPM across teams
  • Sharing experiences with the open source communities and contributing 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.
