Overview

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.

We are revolutionizing how shows and movies are produced, pushing technological boundaries to efficiently deliver streaming video at a massive scale over the internet, and continuously improving the end-to-end user experience with Netflix across their member journey.

We pride ourselves on using data to inform our decision-making as we work towards our mission. This requires curating data across various domains such as Growth, Finance, Product, Content, and Studio. All of this data collection and curation is made possible thanks to the amazing Data Engineers of Netflix who bring this data to life.

Data Engineering at Netflix is a role that requires building systems to process data efficiently and modeling the data to power analytics. These solutions can range from batch data pipelines that bring to life business metrics to real-time processing services that integrate with our core product features. In addition, we require our Data Engineers to have a rich understanding of large distributed systems on which our data solutions rely.

Candidates should have knowledge across several of these skill sets and usually need to be deep in at least one. As a Data Engineer, you also need to have strong communication skills since you will need to collaborate with business, engineering, and data science teams to enable a culture of learning. Learn more about the work of data engineers at Netflix.

Location of work: We are considering candidates who are willing to relocate to Los Gatos, California, as well as fully-remote candidates (remote in the US with occasional visits to Los Gatos) depending on the team your skills are most aligned with.

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 $380,000.00 - $610,000.00. This compensation range will vary based on location.

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.
