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.

We are a data-driven company, handling hundreds of billions of events per day to answer many application and business related questions. At the center of providing scalable platform solutions to these challenges is the Netflix Event and Data Pipelines team, responsible for building common infrastructure to collect, transport, aggregate, process and visualize various events. The events include logging messages, user activity records, system operational data, or any arbitrary data that our systems need to collect for business, product, and operational analysis. All engineering teams at Netflix use these core libraries and services.

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 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 and infrastructure 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.
