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 launched a new ad-supported tier in November 2022 and are building an in-house world-class ad tech ecosystem to offer our members more choices in consuming their content. Our new tier allows us to attract new members at a lower price point while also creating a compelling path for advertisers to reach deeply engaged audiences.

Our Team

The Ads Engineering team at Netflix is dedicated to creating a world-class advertising ecosystem that drives our advertising business. This team's mission is to develop advanced technology that ensures exceptional experiences for both our members and advertisers. Our responsibilities encompass a broad spectrum of products, ranging from sales and media planning to optimizing advertiser outcomes and execution. This includes inventory and order management, campaign execution, ad serving, audience and identity management, measurement, reporting, and finance.

We use several Netflix investments and innovations - a unique mix of client and server-side ad insertions, state-of-the-art content delivery systems, ad encoding recipes, content understanding, and metadata, etc. We deliver ads in a manner that’s thoughtful of our member’s viewing experience and drive great outcomes for advertisers. We also ensure that advertiser brand safety is ensured during serving so that members only see the most appropriate ads for them.

Our team is faced with the enormous ambitions of building highly performant advertising systems and delivering high impact to our business by monetizing our incredible slate of content. As one of the newest entrants in the Connected TV advertising space that’s rapidly growing, we seek to build unique value propositions that help us differentiate us and become a market leader in record time. Our roles come with expectations of delivering in a rapid clip, comfort with lofty goals and big ambitions, the visibility that comes with strategic initiatives, and responsibility and an appetite to operate like a startup within an established company.

We are looking for a people manager to join us on this journey, to lead some exciting initiatives, and the talented engineers who work on realizing our ambitious vision.

As an Engineering Manager you will:

  • Build and scale advertiser-grade reporting applications that allow internal teams and, over time, external advertisers to explore, filter, schedule, and download Ads performance data.

  • Drive success in a fast paced, flat organization with minimal process and a heavy emphasis on ownership.

  • Support your team by contextualizing the larger vision, enabling prioritization and fostering high focus and executional excellence.

  • Operate as an ambassador of the Netflix Culture

  • Create a dream team by hiring, retaining, and growing high performing talent.

Skills & experience we’re seeking:

  • Experience in designing and operating external-facing and internal reporting APIs that enable self-service access to Netflix Ads data for advertisers, sales, and partner integrations.

  • Expertise in owning and optimizing the Ads Druid analytics layer, powering low-latency, high-concurrency OLAP workloads that back all reporting, dashboards, and programmatic data access.

  • Expertise in building reporting systems meet MRC and audit-grade standards, including data completeness, accuracy, traceability, and controls required for accredited advertiser reporting.

  • 10+ years of total experience with 3+ years of management experience in building and leading diverse software engineering teams. 

  • A strong product mindset along with experience in delivering large complex projects collaborating with a variety of cross-functional stakeholders that are technology, operations or business focused.

  • General understanding of the advertising marketplace and landscape. 

  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking with demonstrated product sense and leadership in the working environment
