Senior Data Engineer - Content Finance

Job Description

Netflix shows are produced and acquired all over the world and watched by more than 200 million accounts globally. In the Netflix Studio, we aim to give content creators the opportunity to bring their most visionary ideas to life and create joy for our members around the world through innovative storytelling.

The Content Finance Data Science & Engineering team at Netflix is a talented group of cross-functional data professionals. We help scale our rapidly growing Content & Studio efforts by focusing on datasets describing production cost, slate financial planning, and our global workforce of vendors and production talent. These data sets represent tens of billions of dollars - a large portion of Netflix's revenue - reinvested into entertaining the world with original and acquired content. We conduct statistical analyses, develop analytic tools, develop new data sets and pipelines, and build predictive models and algorithms using machine learning, all with the goal of producing the best content we can in the best way we can. Check out this doc to learn more about the area, some of the problems we're working on, and more about the team.

We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help us architect, source, and build these foundational data sets into a rich, detailed playground for both our own team members and the hundreds of Content & Studio colleagues we partner with. We've only just started down this path. This is an opportunity to shape a high-impact data space at Netflix from its early stages.

In this role, you will:
• Architect, strengthen, and expand the core data models that our Content and Studio functions use to answer business questions and evaluate their financial decisions. You'll get to envision how all the data elements from multiple sources should fit together as a whole, and then execute on that plan
• Partner with Analytics Engineers, Software Engineers, and business teams to create data sets that will serve analysis and reporting needs intuitively
• Help craft the backend data layer of prototype applications or microservices used for reporting and analytic workflows
• Source data from new Content and Studio systems or from rich unstructured records that are waiting to be structured!
• Develop best practices for governance of data sets with sensitive information

About you:
• Hands-on experience building production data pipelines, ideally using one or more distributed processing frameworks such as Spark or Hive/Hadoop
• Expertise in data modeling and establishing data architecture across multiple systems
• Proficiency in Python, or willingness to grow into Python from your other scripting languages (i.e., Java, Scala)
• Comfort working with - and learning - a variety of tech stacks
• Experience ingesting and managing data sets that are messy or incomplete at source
• Strong communication; able to own and deepen direct relationships with our Engineering, Product Management, and business partners
• Enthusiasm about innovating and learning in a fast paced environment
• Comfort with ambiguity; able to thrive with minimal oversight and process

Culture

You will have the opportunity to impact the business in a meaningful way. You will have the freedom to innovate, solve interesting problems and influence in a fast paced, exciting environment. You will work with stunning colleagues who love to solve hard problems, and who not only expect but also foster high performance.
