At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what's next.

About the Team

Netflix's Compute organization owns our internet-scale cloud footprint. We constantly innovate to increase fleet-wide agility, efficiency, and reliability of this infrastructure. We build, operate, and maintain Compute services so that Netflix developers can rely on foundational building blocks that enable a "set it and forget it" approach to achieving scalability and cost efficiency. Join us as we push the boundaries of performance and resilience, empowering developers to create groundbreaking applications on a reliable platform.

In Managed Compute, we believe getting up and running in the cloud quickly should be the easiest step toward getting your service running in the cloud. To help our internal customers do this, we offer APIs and managed configurations on our compute platform that abstract away compute resource and scheduling complexity, scaling responsiveness, and multi-tenant fair sharing. We see the future as one where our customers can rely on industry-leading, scalable, right-sized, and optimized compute without the need to know anything about where or on what their workloads run.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and accomplished engineer with demonstrable experience in evolving large-scale infrastructure systems and managed services on that infrastructure. The ideal candidate will bring a combination of leading innovative solutions across functional teams and hands-on development experience in complex distributed systems, backend services, AWS/cloud, and Kubernetes.

In this role, you will:

• Work closely with Product and Customers to design experiences that anticipate customers' needs and make doing internet-scale computing easy.
• Design, develop, and operate high-leverage managed compute services, informing trade-offs between complexity and ease-of-use against Netflix-wide business priorities.
• Drive alignment with stakeholders and manage strategic partnerships.
• Mentor peer engineers in building, maintaining, and deploying complex features that have impact across Netflix.
• Drive operational excellence on the Managed Compute team, continuously improving incident response, on-call, and other operational practices.
• Maintain currency on industry trends for new architectures, features, and off-the-shelf services; make recommendations on incorporating industry trends.

Desired Skills & Experience:

• A proven track record of architecting and implementing customer-focused products (large-scale distributed systems) that define and modify infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience building, maintaining, and integrating with Kubernetes operators, and how to abstract away orchestration complexities.
• Experience optimizing fleet utilization, and executing locally and globally optimal fleet changes at scale.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Demonstrated ability to drive infrastructure changes at scale.
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex problems, identify root causes using data, and deliver clear, actionable solutions.
• High degree of ownership and accountability for execution, managing multiple priorities effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Possess a growth mindset and a continuous drive to learn, evaluate, and adapt to new and evolving technologies.
• Experience with Golang, Java, and/or Python.
• Passion for building for customer ease of use.

You will be successful in this role if you:

• Shine when you have to balance complex customer, engineering, and other stakeholder needs, and are obsessed with optimizing for the customer whenever possible.
• Have the ability to define and self-manage cross-functional projects fueled by ambiguous questions.
• Lead thoughtful collaboration, take pride in your work, and enjoy taking full ownership of projects from conception to production.
• Have read about Netflix's culture and think you would thrive here.
