We are looking for experienced engineering leaders who will lead and grow teams of senior engineers for the Host Networking and Application Networking groups in the Network Platform organization. The team provides Layer2 - Layer7 networking solutions to ensure consistent traffic management at scale throughout the Netflix ecosystem, by abstracting out the complexities of resiliency, security, routing, and insights. You will be partnering with engineering teams across all of Netflix, including service owners, platform partners, and other central teams, like our InfoSec and CDN teams to develop and execute on a cohesive strategy for how we evolve traffic flowing through our ecosystem.

What you will do:
• Drive the vision and strategy on how to evolve our Network Platform solutions
• Build, scale, and mentor a cohesive team of amazing engineers
• Form strong cross-functional partnerships to achieve alignment with many engineering teams and ensure our solutions meet their needs, while maintaining our focus on reliability, resiliency, security

What we are looking for:
• We are looking for multiple leaders with experience in some, not all, of the dimensions below:
• Experience building and operating complex distributed systems at scale.
• Well versed in Java or other object-oriented languages.
• Solid understanding of transport protocols (HTTP, HTTP/2, WebSockets, etc).
• Experience in Kernel networking and Embedded software development.
• Deep knowledge of networking technologies and abstractions in modern architectures
• Solid understanding of Layer3/Layer4 networking, QoS, SDN, Network Security.
• Good balance of IQ & EQ to be able to solve both technical and social challenges
• Deep empathy for users and their business goals
• Proven experience building and leading software engineering teams with a focus on inclusion and diversity.
• Tenacity and the ability to balance competing priorities across multiple cross-functional stakeholders and programs
• Orientation towards long-term impact as the yardstick for prioritization, but able to strike the right balance between short term goals and longer-term vision
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills

A few more things about us:

As a team, we come from many different backgrounds and countries, and our fields of education range from the humanities to engineering to computer science and we strive to give people the opportunity to wear different hats, should they choose to. We strongly believe this diversity and agility has helped us build an inclusive and empathetic environment, and we are looking forward to adding your perspective to the mix!
