Senior Full Stack Engineer - CS Engineering
Cloud and Platform EngineeringLos Gatos, CA
The Netflix Membership Infrastructure team provides a suite of web
services for accessing customer related information. All engineering
teams at Netflix use these core services: Account, Subscriber, Identity,
A|B Experimentation, Device, Messaging, and Codes. Architecturally, we
focus on building globally distributed systems that are resilient,
performant, and can scale to accommodate our rapid international growth.
Part of the Membership Infrastructure team is the Customer Service
Engineering team which provides all of the software tools to the
Customer Service representatives and Netflix members in the Help Center.
Netflix Customer Service needs to handle a wide variety of calls (and
chats!) – from billing and account related questions, to queries about
featured content. What if we had better knowledge base articles? Would
that provide the best customer experience? The suite of applications
that the CS Engineering team builds has to be able to handle all of
these things clearly and efficiently.
Currently, this team has enabled Netflix to deliver superior
Customer Service, consistently ranked among the best in the US.
However, as we grow internationally and expand our customer base, we
are working on innovative ways to allow our subscribers to interact with
our Customer Service group and deliver the best possible service.
