Job description

The Software Engineer role at Netflix focuses on building large, web-scale datasets that enhance member experience through machine learning algorithms. The personalization data engineering team seeks an individual with a strong analytical mindset and experience in modern distributed systems. This position offers the opportunity to innovate in big data processing and collaborate with algorithm teams to drive continuous improvement. Candidates should be passionate about engineering excellence and capable of navigating a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

  • Expertise in building production data systems using technologies such as Spark and Flink.
  • Proficiency in at least one major programming language, such as Java or Scala.
  • Hands-on experience with schema design and data modeling.
  • Ability to pick up new technical skills independently.

Responsibilities

  • Drive innovation in big data processing by contributing to the team's data products and frameworks.
  • Partner with algorithm teams to enhance Netflix personalization.
  • Allocate time judiciously and resolve competing priorities.
  • Communicate effectively to influence others and drive change.

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.
