Cloud and Platform Engineering
Netflix
is the leading provider of streaming video, reaching 40 million
subscribers in more than 40 countries and territories around the world.
Our subscribers consume over five billion hours of video a quarter and
account for about 33% of the downstream Internet traffic in North
America. Subscribers enjoy Netflix on more than 1,000 different device
types. Supporting this global brand presents significant engineering
challenges.
At the center of those challenges is the Netflix Video Metadata
team, responsible for providing a suite of high performance libraries
and services for accessing all movie metadata at run time. All
engineering teams at Netflix use these core libraries to access the
global localized metadata catalog from anywhere in the world.
We are looking for an experienced, talented and motivated
engineering leader to engage with other teams and drive the integration
and evolution of shared libraries and infrastructure components. This is
a hands-on leadership position to manage a team that is key to the
Netflix service. You will set strategic direction, working with our
engineering and business partners. You will anticipate needs, foster
nimbleness and build a world-class team.
To be successful in this role, you must be a quick learner, have
stellar software development and communication abilities, and work well
in large cross-functional teams. This is a great opportunity to enhance
your cloud computing skills, and simultaneously gain intimate knowledge
of Netflix products and services.
Your team will be an integral component of our product feature
development teams, creating the best TV and movie experiences in the
world, enabling millions of Netflix subscribers to easily find great
movies and TV shows to watch instantly. Our product teams test new
features at blistering pace - think weeks vs. months or years. Your team
will have to work both hard and smart to keep up.

- You have a demonstrated ability to establish a vision and to execute on it
- You have exceptional experience in leading engineering teams
- You have a keen eye for strong engineering talent and building teams
- You are comfortable leading initiatives and presenting to large groups
- You internalize what it means to own products, projects and applications

- You have a proven track-record of building fast, reliable, large, multi-threaded, scalable, service-oriented web services
- You have worked on and/or understand distributed systems and large scale engineering challenges
