Full job description

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.

Our TV teams span product innovation and the architecture and capabilities powering product features. Within this team, we are looking to hire an experienced engineer to support our Ads work.

Ads engineers are responsible for developing and delivering the platform for innovative ad experiences to unlock significant revenue growth. A key initiative is a flexible framework that enables customizable, engaging creative formats, which involves evolving our underlying architecture. We also support server-side ad delivery in streaming content, which today inserts targeted messages into video and will expand to support additional interactive and video formats.

Who You Are:

  • Experience designing, building, and shipping consumer-facing software.
  • Experience leading projects and communicating with multiple cross-functional partners.
  • Strong project management skills.
  • Able to design, architect, debug, test, and create well-documented code.
  • Able to identify and componentize common abstractions with an eye for performance and stability of large-scale systems.
  • Proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • You strive to elevate the knowledge and skills of yourself and others in a way that fosters an inclusive, collaborative environment.

What Sets You Apart:

  • You’re passionate about writing elegantly designed, maintainable, performant software.
  • You enjoy pushing the boundaries of what technology can do and exploring uncharted waters.
  • You love to empower other engineers and strive to find ways to accelerate innovation (Core).
  • You are curious about how members use our application and eager to build product features that entertain the world (Product).
  • Colleagues appreciate the unique perspectives and balanced views you bring to collaborations.
  • You value the perspective of others when identifying solutions.
  • You know there is rarely one ‘right’ solution, and you make thoughtful trade-offs.
  • You understand that our goal is to solve problems, and a language, framework, or library is a means to an end.
  • You have a strong sense of independence, bias towards action, and inclination for collaboration.

Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $388,000.00 - $558,000.00. This compensation range will vary based on location.

Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs. Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off. Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off. See more details about our Benefits here.

Netflix is a unique culture and environment. Learn more here.

Inclusion is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates. If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.
