Job description

The Cloud Network Engineering team at Netflix is focused on creating adaptable network architectures to support the company's evolving product services and initiatives. This role involves developing tools and services that enhance network availability, performance, and security as Netflix expands into new business areas like gaming and advertising. Candidates will engage with engineering users to understand their needs and improve their experience while solving complex network problems. The position requires a blend of technical expertise and a proactive approach to communication and collaboration.

Requirements

  • Experience developing solutions using cloud-native technologies and frameworks, with a strong focus on scalability and resilience.
  • Expertise in cloud networking, particularly within AWS, including VPC design, subnetting, security groups, and routing.
  • Experience with Go, Java, Python, or similar object-oriented programming languages and a demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code.
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals across layers L2 to L7, including knowledge of network protocols and troubleshooting in production environments.
  • A deep commitment to continuous learning and the ability to navigate ambiguous areas and break down complex problems.

Responsibilities

  • Balance bias to action with the ability to make well-informed decisions.
  • Engage directly with end engineering users to understand their needs and improve their experience.
  • Write and maintain code to solve complex network problems, automate network configuration, and streamline management processes.
  • Contribute to the design and architecture of network components, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of the platform.
  • Deliver high-quality solutions that align with organizational goals and strategy.

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.
