Job description
The role is a full-stack engineering position within Netflix's Ads Policy Infrastructure team, focused on building a shared platform for managing advertising policies. The team aims to create systems that ensure compliance with regulations while enhancing the advertising experience for both members and advertisers. The engineer will contribute to shaping the architecture and evolution of policy management services and will work closely with various teams to clarify requirements and deliver effective solutions. This position offers an opportunity to expand technical expertise across the stack and take ownership of product development.
Requirements
- General understanding of the Ads domain
- Strong knowledge of a general purpose object-oriented language like C++ or Java
- Strong knowledge of React and Javascript/Typescript
- Experience interfacing with REST APIs and/or GraphQL endpoints
- Understanding of UX and UI design principles
- Experience leading complex projects/features from problem framing and design through delivery, operation, and evolution
- Strong knowledge of API design, data modeling, and schema evolution
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with a track record of effective collaboration across technical and non-technical teams
Responsibilities
- Shape the architecture and evolution of a shared policy model, management service, APIs, and evaluation platform
- Build intuitive authoring workflows that make complex policy rules understandable and safe to create, review, and change
- Design versioned contracts and integration patterns that allow systems across the ads lifecycle to consume policy decisions consistently
- Develop explainability and observability capabilities, including reason codes, decision traces, and operational metrics
- Lead incremental migrations from localized policy logic to shared platform capabilities while protecting correctness and availability
- Partner with Policy, Product, Design, Operations, and engineering teams to clarify requirements, resolve trade-offs, and deliver end-to-end outcomes
- Mentor teammates and contribute to architecture, engineering practices, and the long-term direction of the team
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.
