In this role at Netflix, you will build a next-generation machine learning data and feature platform aimed at improving the productivity of ML practitioners. You will collaborate with ML practitioners and domain experts to ensure high-quality features and labels for various ML models. The focus is on creating a centralized feature and embedding store to facilitate sharing across ML domains. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology that powers personalized recommendations, payments, and more.
Requirements
- Experience in building ML or data infrastructure

- Experience with large-scale data processing frameworks such as Spark, Flink, and Kafka
- Experience with data storage and serving technologies such as Iceberg and Cassandra
- Experience in working with and optimizing Java and/or Python codebases
- Experience with public clouds, especially AWS
- Self-driven and highly motivated team player
Responsibilities
- Design and build a near-real-time feature computation engine to generate ML features for both high-throughput training and low-latency inference applications
- Operate and manage the feature computation pipelines and feature serving infrastructure for various ML models across multiple ML domains
- Build and scale systems that accelerate training through performant data loading, transformation, and writing
- Create frameworks to streamline and expedite the availability of new data for training and serving
- Develop feature stores that enable feature discovery and sharing
- Increase the productivity of ML practitioners by making it easy to define and access features and labels for experimentation and productization
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.
