Job description

The role is for a highly skilled engineer in Netflix's Compute organization, focusing on evolving large-scale infrastructure systems and managed services. The team aims to enhance the agility, efficiency, and reliability of cloud services for developers. Candidates will work on designing and operating managed compute services while collaborating with product teams and stakeholders. The position emphasizes innovation in cloud computing and operational excellence.

Requirements

  • A proven track record of driving infrastructure changes at scale.
  • Hands-on experience building, maintaining, and integrating with Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Golang, Java, and/or Python.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with Product and Customers to design experiences that anticipate customer needs.
  • Design, develop, and operate high leverage managed compute services.
  • Drive alignment with stakeholders and manage strategic partnerships.
  • Mentor peer engineers in building, maintaining, and deploying complex features.
  • Drive operational excellence on the team, continuously improving incident response and operational practices.

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.
