Senior Software Engineer 5 — Developer Platform

We are seeking experienced Software Engineers who are passionate about writing software that will help other engineers write software. The ideal candidate will have a strong generalist background, having built complex applications in Java or other programming languages. This role requires demonstrated experience scaling services and applications to serve hundreds of users and thousands of requests per minute. Engineers in this job will interact with customers and product managers to ensure that the team is delivering the tools and features needed by Netflix.

Writing design documents, driving changes across teams and organizations, and ensuring the reliability and success of productivity tools is a significant part of this role. The tools and services delivered by engineers in this role will span multiple parts of the stack (from persistence and data layers through business logic and service APIs to front-end user UX) so familiarity with each of those areas is required, though focus, experience, and expertise may be concentrated on one layer.
