Ratings Architecture Specialist

Job Description

With so many different titles to choose across a range of tastes and cultural standards, how can we let members know that what they're watching is appropriate for their household?

The Ratings Architecture team develops and supports a global, scalable system that accurately classifies and rates entertainment content. Across back-end metadata, external research, and front-end display, this role is responsible for transparently conveying the maturity level, appropriateness, and content flags of every title in our catalog, tailored to every country in the world. It requires knowledge of content policies and cultural sensitivities as well as the operational and analytical aptitude to implement those policies in a scalable way.

The right candidate is adept at analyzing data from various sources (both qualitative and quantitative) to identify trends that can be applied to internal systems in order to generate accurate local maturity ratings. You learn internal tools and systems quickly, are curious and thoughtful about different cultures' sensibilities, and have a proven ability to work at scale. You are comfortable communicating with various teams, such as Engineering, Public Policy, and Communications. You make thoughtful decisions that balance our ability to move quickly while still providing the right context to our members.
