Job description

Netflix is seeking highly motivated engineers to join their Ads Platform Engineering team, which focuses on building innovative media planning solutions for their advertising business. The role involves developing applications and APIs that enhance media planning workflows and ensure a seamless integration of advertising strategies.

Requirements

  • Experience in building first party tools, APIs and services that leverage data and real-time insights to support media planning workflows.
  • Understanding of how media planning workflow works with other parts of an ads platform like pre-sales to delivery for a holistic view of the business.
  • Familiarity with RFPs and pre-sales processes through to campaign activation.
  • Familiarity with AHC (agency holding cos) planning tools, and various forms of media planning support enabled through integrations.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities effectively.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Experience with building modern backend and frontend applications on cloud / AWS using Java, Spring Boot, React, GraphQL, Node.js or equivalent technologies.
  • Experience with distributed systems and microservices, NoSQL databases, queues like Apache Kafka and a solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

Responsibilities

  • Building applications and APIs that support every stage of the media planning process, from initial plan creation and inventory allocation through to campaign activation and completion.
  • Delivering transparency on media plan performance and providing users with actionable insights to optimize their planning strategies.
  • Partnering with stakeholders across the Ads Platform (Engineering, Product, Data Science, and Design) to develop scalable, impactful media planning solutions that drive business value.

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.
