Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.
At Netflix, we seek to entertain the world. We launch thousands of new TV shows and movies every year for our members across the globe. To do so, we need to understand which shows to launch, when to launch, and for which audiences over the next months, quarters, and years to delight our current and future members.
The Content & Conversation Modeling team delivers high-leverage ML solutions using Netflix’s unique media data, driving decisions across content strategy, acquisition, scheduling, and advertising. Our models are used to predict engagement, forecast title performance, assess catalog strength, and so much more. We are looking for an experienced machine learning engineer to develop, optimize, and deploy scalable ML solutions that power content decisions at Netflix.
