Job Description

Location: Remote, Los Angeles/Los Gatos

As Netflix produces more content and we expand our global presence, it becomes even more important to get people excited about stories that are right for them. Promoting our titles happens on our consumer-facing product, and through external marketing and publicity channels. To help consumers find the stories they'll love, we need to create a diverse set of promotional media assets for many different tastes, and to get these materials in front of the right people.
Our creative partners need to scale the production of these promotional assets - millions of assets across 190 countries, in 40+ languages, and distributed across multiple platforms.
Our products are used by a wide range of people inside and outside of Netflix, helping thousands of users manage and make efficient use of a multi-million dollar creative budget.

As a full-stack engineer on the Marketing technology team, you will have the opportunity to contribute and add value across the entire campaign planning and publicity asset distribution platform - from supporting node-based client applications that empower Netflix titles to get the best possible media coverage from our partners, to owning critical backend user and asset migrations for the platform itself, to building the infrastructure that allows Netflix to become more efficient with how we plan and execute our promotional campaigns.

This is a high impact role where your contributions will not only make a difference in driving content leverage for our subscribers, but will also support the pipeline for mentoring new engineering talent joining the Studio organization. If you love product ideation, owning, collaborating, building, constantly raising the bar and growing others, you will thrive in this role!
