Who are we?
Netflix is well beyond pushing the boundaries of traditional data warehousing; our data volumes have necessitated home-grown expertise in cloud storage and computing. In order to provide a responsive and reliable experience for our customers, we've scaled out massively around the world, constantly challenging the limits of nascent cloud technology, and maturing it and the tools surrounding it.

The Content team in the Data Science and Engineering group has some truly fascinating analytical questions to explore. How do we effectively program for our subscribers? How do we measure and attribute value to movies/TV shows as it relates to customer acquisition, retention and engagement? How can we get better at decision-making for licensing content prior to having it on our service, or prior to creating it (i.e. - Netflix original series)?

Netflix offers amazing co-workers, new technology, fascinating analytical and technical challenges, and a Freedom & Responsibility Culture that's hard to find.
