Some nice to haves: * Working experience with {Java || Kotlin || C# || Scala}, ElasticSearch, Kafka, Hive or AWS. * Experience with Presto and/or Spark SQL, Apache Flink * Proficient with gRPC, GraphQL, or RESTful API design and implementation. * Experience with SQL & NoSQL multi-region data stores such as Cassandra, Amazon Aurora, Memcached. * Comfortable with production on-call responsibilities and incident response for Tier 0 services. * Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science or a related field. ## Description We're a team of engineers who care deeply about both product innovation and engineering excellence. We build platforms that enable teams to move quickly on new commerce experiences while maintaining the technical rigor required for systems where correctness at scale is paramount and failures can directly affect global revenue. What You Will Work On You'll work across the full spectrum, from product-facing features that directly impact acquisition and retention, to the platform infrastructure that makes them possible at Netflix scale. You'll partner with product managers, designers, and data scientists to build commerce experiences that drive growth. Recent examples: our systems enabled the password-sharing crackdown, helped launch the Ads-supported plan, and enabled new features for premium members. On the platform side, you'll tackle distributed systems challenges: race conditions, consistency guarantees and throughput optimization. You'll evolve our infrastructure to keep pace with Netflix's expanding commerce surface (Ads, Games, Live Streaming). You'll also be part of the on-call rotation for these Tier 0 services, owning production reliability end-to-end. ## Related Videos - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [DevOps at Netflix](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/270-devops-at-netflix) - [Boosting OpenSearch Performance: gRPC Search in Action](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1935-boosting-opensearch-performance-grpc-search-in-action) - [What If We've Been Scaling Stream Processing Wrong All Along?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100139-what-if-we-ve-been-scaling-stream-processing-wrong-all-along) - [Tomorrow's cloud data platforms - fully managed database-as-a-service (DBaaS)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/254-tomorrow-s-cloud-data-platforms-fully-managed-database-as-a-service-dbaas) - [gRPC Load Balancing Deep Dive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1576-grpc-load-balancing-deep-dive) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [How Much FAANG Companies Actually Pay Software Engineers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/230-how-much-faang-companies-actually-pay-software-engineers-in-2025) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/162-highest-paying-tech-companies-in-europe) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
