Job description

Netflix is seeking an engineer to join the Ads Platform Engineering team, focusing on building scalable advertising systems that enhance the viewing experience while ensuring brand safety. The role involves leveraging cutting-edge technology and creative workflows to optimize ad delivery across various platforms.

Requirements

  • Deep Expertise in Distributed Systems: Demonstrated experience designing, building, and maintaining highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed systems.
  • Fluency in at least one core Programming Languages - Java, Python or Go with a history of writing production-quality, well-tested code.
  • Operational Excellence and Observability: Experience with setting up and maintaining comprehensive monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting systems.
  • Proven Problem-Solving Capability: The ability to tackle complex, ambiguous technical problems and develop pragmatic, long-term solutions.
  • Strong Collaboration and Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly.
  • Ownership and Drive: A proactive mindset and a strong sense of ownership over the entire software development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

  • Build advertising systems and integrations that power the delivery of ads using Netflix's content delivery ecosystem.
  • Develop creative infrastructure that enables scalability and sophistication in ad workflows.
  • Ensure effective distribution for ad decisioning and serving across various devices.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance the ad platform.

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.
