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.

It's no secret that we want to entertain the world. In order to do that we first must hire and develop the best people, starting with university students.

Music is one of the most powerful tools we have as storytellers to emotionally connect our Netflix members to the story . At Music Lab, we s upport our Netflix titles by composing exceptional, cost-effective original music as an internal, highly-aligned global studio service that reduces operating friction, accelerates timelines and amplifies creative flexibility. Simply put, we create music for Netflix film and series titles with our network of diverse composers, artists, musicians and production talent around the world.

We are looking to host one intern on the Music Lab team during Summer 2026. As an intern, you'll play a crucial role in supporting Music Lab's music creation work and will participate in a program that provides training and development intended to give you the skill set necessary to become a strong candidate for future music composition & production positions across the film, tv, and entertainment marketing industries.

You'll also be asked to submit a 300-word-maximum statement of intent in the Airtable form (preferably in PDF format) within the form using the following prompt:
