Job description

The Encoding Technologies team at Netflix is focused on delivering exceptional audio and visual experiences through innovative media encoding pipelines. This role involves developing scalable cloud-based systems that support various media formats and quality levels. The team has expanded its scope to include on-demand streaming, ads, and video podcasts. We are seeking talented engineers who are eager to take ownership of projects and collaborate with diverse teams.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of working experience in software engineering
  • Proficient in Java and object-oriented design principles
  • Experience in designing and developing large-scale distributed systems
  • Familiarity with cloud computing platforms such as Amazon AWS

Responsibilities

  • Develop and enhance cloud-based encoding pipelines for media assets
  • Collaborate with technical and non-technical partners across teams
  • Take full ownership of projects from conception to production
  • Implement automated testing and ensure code quality

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.
