Distributed Systems Engineer, Membership Catalog & Pricing - L5
NetflixAbout the role
Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.
Who We Are:
The Membership Engineering team builds and operates the core commerce and monetization platform that manages the entire subscriber lifecycle. We own the product catalog system that defines every Netflix plan, offer, and promotion as a sellable SKU. Our microservices are directly involved in various member-flows like signup, plan change, upsells, offers, cancellations, renewals etc. We enable integrations for managing subscriptions via partner bundles and Apple iTunes/App Store while also enabling gift card redemptions. We also maintain rules to control plan availability, prices and play a central role in implementing price changes across the globe. The subscription data together with the plan and pricing catalog help other teams to power their commerce needs. You could learn more about how we manage subscriptions at Netflix.
What You Will Work On:
In this role, you will get the opportunity to work at the intersection of growth product features and commerce platform infrastructure. You will be engaging in deep, meaningful cross-functional work where you will have the opportunity to interact with other engineers, designers, product managers, and data scientists to enable feature-rich product development. Your contribution will help in optimizing customer acquisition and retention, maximizing revenue and creating commerce opportunities that support Netflix's goal to Entertain the World. Some of our recent work involves cracking down on password sharing, enabling Ads plan on Netflix and bringing new features to existing Netflix plans.
Beyond the product work, you will also have the opportunity to improve our infrastructure and platform in order to help us to meet the growing business needs. This requires upholding a high standard for data accuracy and operations like tackling problems of race condition, accuracy, and throughput optimization while also maintaining operations of our highly-scalable infrastructure by applying engineering best practices and providing first-class on-call support.
