Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 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.

At Netflix, we want to entertain the world and are constantly innovating how entertainment is imagined, created, and delivered to a global audience. Engineering teams within Netflix work hard every day to scale and innovate content production and member experiences in an ever-growing complex software landscape.  

Content Engineering (CE) builds the products and services used by our internal and external creative partners to create, launch, and promote our global content and ads. Our products enable the entire workflow of content creation, from pitch to play, and provide innovative new ways to develop and manage entertainment at scale. 

Content Infrastructure & Solutions (CIS) empowers engineers in CE 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 integrated large-scale media, assets, data, workflow, and communication use cases. 

The Content MiddleWare Infrastructure team (MWI), part of the Content Infrastructure & Solutions group, provides Studio and Content Engineering-specific, highly leveraged, and fully managed data, workflow, and messaging and communication platforms that facilitate the goal of the Connected Studio.

We are hiring a Full Stack Engineer for the MWI team in the US to take on the following responsibilities:

• Spearhead innovation and feature development across self-service UIs, shared UI components, full-stack engineering, and DevEx domains, supporting diverse team needs as they arise - examples include visualizations for knowledge graphs and unification of self-service UIs for the workflow platforms.

• Promote cross-team consistency and efficiency within MWI, with the potential to extend these efforts across CIS and CE. This includes contributing to and driving the adoption of UI Paved Road, ensuring consistent DevOps practices through implementing browser-based monitoring (e.g., Sentry), enhancing end-to-end (E2E) and screenshot testing, and improving analytics and usage tracking, among other initiatives.

• Foster collaboration among MWI and CIS engineering teams to create a connected and streamlined user experience.

• Lead efforts in tooling discovery, establish shared processes, and enhance documentation - examples include Tracing, Interconnectivity, and deep linking across systems.

• Identify and explore new opportunities to drive innovation within MWI’s products and platforms, and lead targeted projects with an emphasis on rapid prototyping to deliver value quickly via POCs and MVPs.

• Mentor less senior full-stack engineers on the team, and provide guidance in UI development and user experience practices.
