Senior Platform Engineer/Architect - Web Services and Architecture

Cloud and Platform Engineering

Los Gatos, CA

Netflix is well-known in the industry as a leading exponent of Cloud Computing and one of the earliest large companies to migrate production systems to the cloud. We also actively contribute to the Open Source community wherein our architecture and design patterns have served as guidelines for AWS-based deployments.
 
The Netflix Cloud Platform is at the heart of this, and builds the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) layer that all Netflix services and applications rely on. We are strong supporters of sharing useful libraries and ideas with the broader community and have open sourced many of the building blocks that comprise the Cloud Platform. Notable ones primarily owned by the team include ArchaiusEurekaRibbonCuratorExhibitor and Governator with more to come. This is a golden opportunity to participate in the endeavor. For more of our work, check out our GitHub page.

Examples of projects you will have the opportunity to own or collaborate on include:
- Designing and implementing architectural and infrastructural components for cloud based distributed systems and application, such as Eureka.
- Networking optimizations, building application architecture frameworks (dependency injections, lifecycle management), and remote procedure call frameworks (high volume, non-blocking, asynchronous, multi-protocol, fault tolerant with support for many serialization formats). See RxJava and RxNetty
 
Minimum Job Qualifications: 
- 5+ years of server-side software development experience
