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 correctness at scale, building systems where getting it wrong means real revenue impact. Our platform is the foundation for Netflix's biggest commercial bets, from Ads and Games to Live Streaming. What You Will Work On You will be in a leadership role. You will work beyond your own team, driving impact for the org as a whole by shaping longer-term technical strategy, driving cross-functional roadmaps, and scaling your own impact through others. 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) - [Exploring the Power of gRPC-Gateway for Writing RESTful Services](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2072-exploring-the-power-of-grpc-gateway-for-writing-restful-services) - [Boosting OpenSearch Performance: gRPC Search in Action](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1964-boosting-opensearch-performance-grpc-search-in-action) - [NoSQL Data Modeling for Front-end Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/297-nosql-data-modeling-for-front-end-developers) - [Flex your Energy: Building a Cloud-Native Platform for Renewable Energy Communities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1990-flex-your-energy-building-a-cloud-native-platform-for-renewable-energy-communities) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [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) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/162-highest-paying-tech-companies-in-europe) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers)
