Senior Software Engineer - Crisis Response Engineering

Cloud and Platform Engineering

Los Gatos, CA

Netflix is the world's leading streaming video service, and our growth is accelerating. At Netflix, we are building new cloud management tools, pushing the limits of technology, and powering our explosive growth while at the same time improving the availability and reliability of our services.
About the team
Netflix is a complex, distributed system. Like most complex systems, it breaks. That’s where the Crisis Response Engineering team comes in. We have three main responsibilities:

-Stop the bleeding: determine and guide the action to contain customer impact
-Fix the problem: work with engineering teams to find and fix the root cause
-Avoid similar problems: understand the root cause and why the failure happened, then plan next steps to avoid recurrence

About the job
As a Software Engineer on Crisis Response Engineering, you’ll be revolutionizing how Netflix (and the industry) handles outages. You’ll create the tools that the entire company relies on for collaboration, root-cause identification, and recovery from an outage. Our planned system will integrate with a variety of other systems at Netflix which handle monitoring, deployment, notifications, chat and phone to provide a consolidated real-time view of the incident in progress. Currently Netflix uses industry-standard tools to manage these components, but standards are like opinions, and our opinion is that we can do better.
About you
You’re a world-class web software developer. You’ve built and deployed web applications for a variety of purposes. You have experience building apps that react to underlying data, rather than just waiting for the next page refresh. Your excitement about a product increases proportionally with its production impact.

You will be successful in this role if you:
-Thrive in high tempo, high consequence situations
-Ruthlessly pragmatic and know how to ship high-value features quickly
-Are extremely clear, concise and effective in both written and verbal communications
-Have plenty of experience developing rich web applications
-Understand concepts like threading and event-driven asynchronous I/O
-Have some experience running code on the JVM
-Love having an impact and improving the organization as a whole
