Senior Software Engineer - Media Cloud Engineering

Content Platform Engineering

Los Gatos, CA

Netflix is the leader of internet video streaming both domestic and international, accounting for a third of peak internet traffic in North America and available on over a 100 different devices (including any smashing new smart phone, TV or gaming console).

Behind the scenes is the cloud based media transcoding infrastructure that enables this scale. If you ever had to implement a system that runs a dynamic workflow, in a production environment that is up 24x7, scattered across thousands of machines across a low reliability multi-zone cloud, managing a data catalog that is multi-PB in size, delivering updates for new features and all new device launches around the world while growing to an international scale in terms of capacity, scheduling and cost efficiency, then you know what we’re looking for. Almost every major Netflix feature has an immediate and direct impact on our team. We directly collaborate with all other teams in Netflix, from finance, movie purchasing, through CDN to website design.

We invent our own tools, languages, front ends and back ends. We use and contribute to Open Source software. We are responsible for defining, designing, implementing and running our solutions, and we constantly look for new ideas and new and better ways to do things as well as implementing new features on a very aggressive delivery schedule.

We are looking for engineers that can do everything so our solutions are never limited. Our current technology stack includes Linux, Java, AWS, MySQL, Cassandra, JavaScript, Angular, Python, …

As a senior member of the team, you will be expected to drive the requirements for and own large components of the system throughout their lifecycle: requirements, architecture/design, implementation, testing, and launch. You will need to exhibit strong leadership and communication skills, define and successfully execute on the engineering and release priorities in a very agile application development environment.

This is a great opportunity to make a real impact on millions of consumers, in real time, while inventing the architecture of a scalable cloud, and have fun doing it.

Wish list: 
- 5+ years object-oriented experience with at least one of: Java (preferred), C#, C++, or similar
- Experience with large-scale distributed infrastructure systems and client-server architectures
- Experience with *nix platform (Linux preferred)
- Excellent communication skills
- Experience as a Technical Lead on a complex distributed systems project
- Experience with Cloud Computing platforms: Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google cloud or similar
- Experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases

Netflix is a very flat organization and we operate in small, loosely coupled, but tightly aligned teams. This role offers a lot of challenges and a great opportunity to impact a global business in a very significant way.
