Job Details
Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services with 278 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.
The Role
Background on the Team:
The Media Infrastructure Platform team is part of a media-focused engineering group which provides highly available infrastructure for content production and processing, storage and access, across all Netflix productions and licensed content. Infrastructure pieces like massive scale media processing platforms (1, 2), workflows (Conductor), media asset management, collaboration, reporting, data movement, and data processing are some of the key services we build. All of this is custom built on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
The Cosmos platform is Netflix's media processing platform. We enable innovation from experiment to productization in the media processing domain and provide an industry-leading path for quantifiably reliable, efficient, scalable, easy to use, easy to operate media processing solutions. Our platforms act as an enabler for media processing teams. Our team's platform is critical to Netflix- every video in the Netflix catalog has been processed by Cosmos or one of its predecessors.
The Cosmos Platform Team is composed of three pods of engineers: Compute, Workflow and Insights & Experiences. Each pod has a discrete charter that supports the platform's overall mission and has a high degree of autonomy while collaborating tightly with the other pods. The Insights and Experiences Pod within the Cosmos Platform team is responsible for cross-cutting experiences and user interfaces for the platform. The team owns a number of key services and experiences, including the following:
About the role
As an engineer on the MIP Cosmos Insights and Experience pod, you will help us build and grow innovative solutions in the media processing space. You'll work on improving the developer experience of the platform. You'll optimize the information architecture of our existing interfaces. You'll work full stack, delivering both frontend code and backend APIs to power your feature, allowing you to make optimal decisions across the stack. You'll uncover user needs and build simple and highly usable experiences to address these needs.
About You
You are a strong full stack engineer with strong software engineering fundamentals, and aren't afraid to build the full frontend and backend of a feature.
You are self-motivated and can work independently, while also being able to partner closely with other engineers on a project. You are passionate about building quality products and want to own development end-to-end, leading with the right architecture, and following sound engineering principles to deliver a maintainable, performant and highly usable experience. You are a problem solver and like to challenge yourself, but you are not afraid to reach out when you need help, and enjoy helping other engineers.
You are able to develop, test and implement features end to end. You consider the backend APIs that you'll be consuming or implementing, the structure of the underlying data stores, and can drive a holistic design for a feature end-to-end, from frontend JS and CSS to new backend APIs in Node/Typescript or Java.
Required Skills
As a team, we come from many different countries and our fields of education range from the humanities to engineering to computer science. Our team includes product managers, program managers, designers, full-stack developers, distributed systems engineers, and data scientists. Folks have the opportunity to wear different hats, should they choose to. We strongly believe this diversity has helped us build an inclusive and empathetic environment and look forward to adding your perspective to the mix!
Our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $170,000 - $720,000.
Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs. Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off.
