Our team consists of Analytics Engineers, Data Engineers, and Data Scientists who work directly with business partners to build optimization models, identify new data sources, deliver key insights, and more. This blog post describes more about the area and some of the exciting problems we're working on.
We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help evolve the products that support the production process, both on set and at the Netflix Studio. This is a great opportunity to lay the data foundation for product analytics and directly influence the tools we put in the hands of people responsible for our amazing content!
As a Senior Data Engineer in this space, you will…
• Be the glue between engineering and analysis: work with Studio Product Engineering to capture data that helps us analyze effectiveness and engagement across a wide array of products that support studio and production crew users
• Architect the data we use to calculate new product metrics and enable experimentation across the Studio product ecosystem
• Partner closely with Analytics Engineers, Data Scientists, and Product Managers to identify and ingest data from new sources & systems to discover product opportunities. Some of this data may be messy or not yet exist!
• Own, strengthen, and expand foundational Studio data models
What you bring to the role:
• Hands-on experience building production data pipelines using one or more frameworks such as Spark, Flink or Hive/Hadoop
• Expertise in data modeling and establishing data architecture across multiple systems
• Proficiency in Python and comfort working in a variety of tech stacks. A working knowledge of front-end development is a plus but not required
• Experience with sourcing and modeling data from application APIs
• Strong communication; able to own and deepen direct relationships with our Engineering and Product Management partners
• Enthusiasm about innovating and learning in a fast paced environment
• Comfort with ambiguity; able to thrive with minimal oversight and process
