# Engineering Manager - User Data & Consent Management

- **Company:** Netflix, Inc.
- **Location:** United States (Remote available)
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Information Engineering, Data Governance, Data Migration, Data Transport Utility, Data Storage Technologies, Data Management
- **Published:** October 14, 2026

## About the Role

* Proven experience managing, coaching, and developing high-performing managers, leading EM-level and senior IC reports across multiple teams or a full department
 * Strategic and pragmatic thinker who can successfully drive teams and outcomes in a highly ambiguous and fast-changing regulatory and technical environment, without a fixed playbook to follow
 * Strong cross-functional partner with technical ownership, with a demonstrated ability to build trust and align priorities across Product, Data Engineering, and Legal/Privacy
 * Industry experience in building systems for user data collection and engineering from product UIs, platforms, data migration strategies, and data governance, as well as consent data.
 * System design and full-stack technical credibility, sufficient to earn trust with senior ICs and make sound architectural calls across product, policy, storage, and pipeline concerns

## Description

This role is responsible for the User Data & Consent subdomain within Identity Engineering, spanning two teams:

 * Consent Data & Privacy, which owns user consent management end-to-end from collection, policies and enforcement, storage and access policies.
 * User Data Management, which owns data collection experiences and practices, lineage, access control, and retention policy for Netflix's first-party user data., We're looking for an experienced engineering leader to run these teams as a manager-of-managers, overseeing an Engineering Manager and partnering closely with 2 senior ICs who drive the architectural agenda across the group, while directly managing the Consent team.

You'll be accountable for near- and medium-term execution - keeping product consent experiences, the consent rules engine, consent/data storage, and data transport pipelines reliable and compliant - while also owning a multi-year technical vision for how Netflix manages first-party user data and consent responsibly at scale. A failure in consent signal propagation or a gap in data stewardship can create compliance exposure and slow roadmaps for partner teams, so this role carries risk and visibility well beyond a single team.

Standard playbooks won't fully apply. You'll need to be a strong partner, evaluate and adapt frameworks as legal requirements evolve, identify gaps in how consent is enforced downstream, and propose new approaches to data minimization - building platforms and systems that are both technically robust and compliant with regulations that weren't written with Netflix's scale in mind.
