Software Engineer, Partner Engineer in Test

Job Description

The Partner Engineering (PE) team delivers Netflix on hundreds of millions of partner devices from smart TV's to TV Operator set-top box to streaming sticks. The team collaborates with partners across the globe to deliver the Netflix Streaming Client on their devices, which is a core part of the Netflix experience.

We want to delight our customers with a service that just works, always. This requires our engineers to engage with SoC, system architecture, and payment systems. We are looking for software engineers to help repeatedly deliver a world-class highly reliable Netflix application. Our partner devices run a diverse set of operating systems including 3rd party technologies that makes Netflix application feature testing a unique challenge.

The Opportunity

This position will be based out of our Los Gatos office in California. As a Partner Engineer in Test for Netflix, you will focus on developing code to test our app on partner platforms. Your work will directly impact the Netflix business. The functionality in Netflix certified products include streaming and playback, standards driven graphics, dynamic UI, payments, security, and other innovative partner-specific adaptations. You will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of engineers at Netflix. You will get an opportunity to experience the full software stack, and influence and contribute to our highly specialized tools.

Developing, certifying, and maintaining the features that provide for the ever evolving Netflix experience require continuous investments in quality. Netflix is a native application and so this role brings together embedded device technologies and data driven validation using both general purpose embedded tools and specialized Netflix tools. You will develop code to establish correctness and completeness of the Netflix application on devices and continuously assess measurability to drive up quality.
Our culture is unique, and we live by our values. It is a key part of our approach to innovation, and so worth learning more about at https://jobs.netflix.com/life-at-netflix. To know more about Partner Engineering, check out this slide deck or listen to this podcast.
