Taxonomy Strategist
Netflix
Los Gatos, CA
Netflix is a global internet video streaming service with over 200 million members in 190 countries. Our members enjoy more than one billion hours of streamed video per week, on thousands of different types of devices. With operating at global scale on thousands of devices comes significant technical complexities to ensure a seamless playback experience for our members. The Client Delivery Platform team builds foundational components to enable continuous delivery so that when a Netflix member clicks ''play'' they have a terrific experience. Come join us to scale and build robust solutions in this space.
What sets us apart:
We innovate on delivery orchestration, real-time metrics derived from a firehose of user events and analysis on these metrics enabling the client engineers to focus on frequently releasing their applications. Our application releases are an AB test (more details here). And we are constantly evolving our allocation strategy, descriptive statistics and inferential analysis to account for the constraints that impact our use case. A challenge to our foundational real time metrics solution is to scale with Netflix's aspiration to stream content to more new users across the globe. Description of the work done so far in this space is available here in a blog post and at a conference presentation. Apart from enabling us to frequently ship Netflix applications on several device platforms, we also want to use real time metrics to monitor all feature AB tests. This exposes us to a plethora of technologies, which makes every single day at work an opportunity to learn something new.
