The Role

We are hiring for several teams: This is an exciting time to join Netflix. Some of these roles are remote, and others are based out of Los Gatos, CA.

Your Day-to-Day:

• The Observability Team provides a platform and suite of products that enable Netflix engineers to monitor service behavior in real time, detect system health anomalies, and troubleshoot issues. As part of the team, you will: 

  • Work across a suite of observability products including dashboards, logs explorer, metrics explorer, and tracing.

  • Define and execute future strategy for the dashboard product, a self-service platform enabling users to visualize data from various sources.

  • Contribute to a platform that processes billions of data points in real time every minute

  • Provide mentorship to early career engineers on the team, fostering their growth and development.

• The Change Automation team is primarily responsible for the developer platform that powers updates, migrations and software changes for the entire engineering organization. Some example goals for projects include:

  • Reduce friction, cognitive load, toil, and time required to adopt technologies across Netflix engineering.

  • Simplify and minimize manual interventions for service owners during migrations.

  • Make it easier to adopt new technologies through automated code change, validation and deployment.
     

• The Deliver Engineering Team is responsible for providing a continuous delivery platform. This team is responsible for software orchestration and delivery tools that all Netflix engineers use to safely, predictably, and effectively deploy software. Some example goals for projects include

  • Unify imperative delivery configurations (Spinnaker pipelines) with declarative delivery config and management (Managed Delivery) into one cohesive product, so that end users can rely on supported infrastructure management while benefiting from the flexibility of deployment configurations.

  • Reduce friction, cognitive load, toil, and time required to configure software Delivery for all application and service owners.

  • Reduce complexity and improve efficiency in the configuration and ongoing management of software deployments.

You May Enjoy Working With Us If You:

• Can deliver top-tier solutions with minimal guidance. You also recognize when you're wrong, learn from your mistakes, share them with others and grow from them

• Are selfless and willing to flex across the stack or into a new domain to help a teammate when needed, never thinking “that’s someone else’s job”

• Strive to embrace best practices and are always searching for opportunities to continually improve.

We Would Love to Work With You If You:

• Are an excellent communicator and collaborator across a cross-functional team of stunning colleagues.  You’re able to work independently but thrive when working with an incredible team

• Are adept at building client-side applications using React and TypeScript and have strong experience in designing and implementing GraphQL schemas

• Have a strong understanding of UX/UI design principles and a passion for creating intuitive user interfaces

• Have a product mindset that is deeply empathetic to customer needs, strategic in orientation, and metrics and outcomes-driven
