Job description

The Data Engineer role at Netflix focuses on building reliable data pipelines and intuitive data products to enhance security and mitigate fraud risks. The Security Data Engineering team is responsible for providing visibility into security and fraud risks across customer accounts and internal systems. This position requires a deep understanding of member activity patterns and the ability to centralize various data points. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in data engineering and a passion for improving Netflix's security posture.

Requirements

  • Highly proficient in at least one of Java, Python, or Scala with at least 7 years of software/data engineering experience.
  • Advanced level SQL skills in a complex data environment.
  • At least 5 years of experience in engineering data pipelines using big data technologies such as Hive, Presto, Spark, or Flink on medium to large scale data sets.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with multiple types of stakeholder groups.
  • Able to successfully lead large, complex systems design and implementation challenges independently.
  • Prior experience in the security and fraud space is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer efficient, adaptable, and scalable data pipelines to process structured and unstructured data.
  • Develop a deep understanding of the security ecosystem at Netflix.
  • Partner with the security engineering teams to understand product goals and provide data that empowers teams to improve our fraud and security posture.
  • Maintain and rethink existing datasets and pipelines.
  • Enable smart analytics by building robust, reliable, and useful data sets that can power various analytic techniques like regression, classification, and clustering.

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.
