Senior Data Engineer - Experimentation & Testing
Data Science and EngineeringLos Gatos, CA
Netflix is the world's leading video streaming subscription service and growing rapidly. To ensure that we are constantly improving the Netflix experience, we have adopted a culture of testing and experimentation that requires every product-related decision to be evidence-based.
As a data science and engineering expert in the Experimentation vertical team, you will have the chance to apply your existing expertise and to learn something new across the entire BI stack. You will be joining a company that offers amazing co-workers, the latest technologies, and a Freedom & Responsibility Culture that's truly hard to find.
What will fill your days:
- You will creatively figure out how to use app/web data to inform decision-making at Netflix.
- You will be a bridge between app/web developers, statisticians, data miners, product managers, and other Data Science & Engineering teams.
- You will work with app/web developers to continually acquire new data.
- You will monitor, maintain, and improve data integration logic running in the Amazon cloud processing many billions of rows of web/app data.
The character & qualities that will help you succeed:
- You're tenacious, persistent, & industrious; not just talented.
- Micromanagement makes your skin crawl. Given context, you're capable of self-direction.
- You leave your desk & collaborate (not to be mistaken with extroversion, but you realize the effectiveness of face-to-face contact in communication).
- You move seamlessly between code and analytical concepts.
- You're an active listener who asks good questions and puts the company first.
- You appreciate beauty & simplicity.
- You're known as a creative, innovative, & out-of-the-box thinker.
The technical experience that will help you succeed (not a rigid litmus test):
- Cloud technologies such as MapReduce/Hadoop/Hive/Pig
- Big data & production support
- Strong SQL skills.
- Python/Perl (experience in one or more is a plus)
- Analytics, statistics, and machine learning is a plus
- A/B or multivariate testing is a plus
A few more things to know:
- You will need to be comfortable working in the most agile of environments. Requirements will be vague. Iterations will be rapid. You will need to be nimble and take smart risks.
- Our culture is unique and we live by our values. It's worth learning more: www.netflix.com/Jobs.
