About the role
Netflix is building a new internal game studio to incubate and build a new class of hilarious, social party video games.
The Senior Generalist Engineer will work with a new cross-discipline core team to rapidly prototype and iterate towards a new game vision, building confidence on a great game prototype to eventually bring to full production and be available to Netflix members. A successful candidate will be able to establish workflows for other developers, integrate multiple platform technologies from external teams into our game project, build lower-level systems and content creation tools to support higher-level feature systems and help deploy and maintain our builds for both client and server.
You’ll be joining a small, scrappy team with big ambitions, and an obsession to create memorable game moments that leave players telling their own stories for years to come. We’re looking for new teammates who care deeply about the experiences they create and the people they make them with. Those who bias towards action and are energized by the learning that comes with bold experimentation at an agile pace. As a part of Netflix, we strive to hire the best and value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration. Now is an amazing time to join Netflix Game Studio as we seek to entertain our 200 million paid members in a really new way.
The overall market range for roles in this area of Netflix is typically $100,000 - $350,000.
This market range is based on total compensation (vs. only base salary), which is in line with our compensation philosophy. Netflix is a unique culture and environment. Learn more here.
