Senior Software Engineer, Experimentation Platform

Job Description

Netflix is reinventing the way the world watches movies and television. Over 150 million members around the globe already enjoy our award-winning content, but most of our growth still lies ahead. Growth on a global scale requires us to constantly experiment with new ideas across all aspects of the Netflix product -- UI, recommendations, search algorithms, sign-up flows, messaging, video streaming algorithms and more.

The Experimentation Platform team builds internal tools with a big impact across the company. We are currently reimagining and rebuilding our experiment configuration capabilities. These new systems come with new use cases and new users. You will help us build out the next generation of experimentation and feature flag infrastructure at Netflix.

We are looking for a person with experience building reliable high scale, low latency systems. We also value people who are passionate about operational visibility and building tooling that supports other teams performing safe, reliable test roll outs. We currently work with Java and are beginning to dabble in Kotlin -- the ability to adapt to changing technology is an important strength.
Our team includes people of all genders, sexual orientation, parents, childless chameleon moms, the self-taught, the university-educated, and people of a wide variety of nationalities, ages, and socio-economic backgrounds. Diverse teams are strong teams, and we encourage those with varied identities, backgrounds, and experiences to apply.
