Senior Software Engineer, Marketing and Promotional Media Technology

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 content that's right for them. Promoting our titles happens on our consumer-facing product, and off the product through marketing and publicity. 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 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.

To get the right assets in front of the right person, our globally distributed marketing team needs our technology to effectively plan and execute their campaigns through owned, earned, and paid media - e.g. the Netflix product, social media, and programmatic ads respectively. We solve a wide range of problems such as high-scale programmatic campaign management to help get non-members to sign up for Netflix, planning and executing our media campaigns, enabling efficient testing of marketing hypotheses, and more.

We need your help to build the technologies that allow us to scale our marketing and promotional media efforts across the globe, and do so effectively and efficiently!

• Regularly learn new systems and tools as the Netflix platform and ecosystem evolves.

• You are adept at building applications with an OO language

• You are strongly motivated in picking up new domains and shipping high quality, well-tested code.
