Job description

Netflix is seeking an experienced engineer to join the Content & Business Products Engineering team, focusing on building tools for content localization across 35 languages. The role involves crafting resilient microservices and improving accessibility for content through innovative technology.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience crafting resilient, high-scale, low-latency, distributed microservices in production environments.
  • Proficient with gRPC, GraphQL, or RESTful API design and implementation.
  • Experience with media pipelines or relevant domain experience.
  • Recent proficient experience with Java, C#, or other OO programming languages.
  • Solid understanding of OO design principles, concurrency, multi-threading, performance tuning, and observability.
  • Proven track record in architecting, building, and operating distributed systems with high availability, fault tolerance, and performance.
  • Solid experience in setting technical directions for engineering projects and influencing partner and cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to proactively describe complex technical concepts to a variety of stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Build, operate, and maintain tools that allow linguists to author scripts for localization workflows.
  • Innovate on improving accessibility to content via audio description or SDH assets.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and lead incident reviews.

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.
