Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

The Content and Business Product engineering team builds technology to scale Netflix's content operations from concept to streaming. We create systems and services that enable teams worldwide to plan, produce, distribute, and promote our titles. Content Infrastructure & Solutions (CIS) empowers other product teams working on content and studio applications to be innovative and agile in supporting our massive global content production needs. We do that by providing scalable and resilient infrastructure to address large-scale media, assets, data, security, workflow, and communication use cases. 

Studio Foundations Engineering (SFE), part of CIS, plays a pivotal role in Netflix's content and games creation and delivery journey. The seamless magic of your favorite show starting with a click is the result of thousands of intricate processes and workflows behind the scenes that are enabled by our tools. We empower Netflix studios to bring creative excellence to life, build tools to bring operational excellence, and accomplish economies of scale. Our solutions aim to elevate the ROI of the $15 billion spent on content creation through cost/time efficiency and data-driven decision-making. We also provide technology to manage end-user access and build tools that help with resourcing workflows, resulting in the production and delivery of the highest-quality content.

The Role

Netflix leverages a large internal and external workforce to produce and deliver content to members. Globally, many thousands of people get access to sensitive data and applications to do this work. As part of the Content Security team, you will focus on building scalable solutions that help to identify areas of security risk across our business product ecosystem and prevent unintended exposure of Netflix pre-release assets and data.
