Senior Software Engineer 4/5 - Client And Partner Technologies

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.

The Client and Partner Technologies (CPT) organization is chartered with enabling brilliant Netflix experiences on partner devices and building foundational client systems and tools. Within CPT, the Enablement Apps (EA) team is looking for senior software engineers to help us revamp and extend our suite of web applications that enable the future of our partner products lifecycle.

This team focuses on enabling Smart TV+ partner devices - including TVs, streaming sticks, and other “10-foot” devices - with Netflix experiences by providing business‑to‑business solutions that scale the integrate, launch, operate, update, and retire lifecycle. In parallel, the team builds applications that enable partners to integrate with Netflix APIs to launch, operate, monitor, and update Partner Payment experiences (such as bundles for member growth), as well as tools that power Partner UI experiences like the Netflix Discovery Row.

We are looking for backend engineers who have the aptitude and agility to work across a broad spectrum of applications (e.g., device management, configuration, testing, and payment workflows) with a passion for intuitive user experiences.

You will excel in this role if you are comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with innovation, can deliver scalable technical solutions, remove technical debt, think strategically, make decisions for long-term effectiveness, and are deeply curious.

What You Will Do:

• Drive new technical solutions across teams, in a multi-disciplinary manner from requirements to applications deployment 

• Actively work with product managers and our design team to scope and shape product decisions

• Revamp and update existing web applications with new paved path solution 

• Focus on streamlining user experience with simplicity  

• Enhance and maintain existing applications to meet the needs of our partners and internal stakeholders 

• Operate in a cross-functional dynamic environment where you will collaborate and learn from stunning colleagues with different roles and expertise to achieve common goal to bring #NetflixEverywhere

What We're Looking For:

• Extensive experience in a software development role

• Strong back-end development skills  

  • Strong programming skills in at least one backend language, with JVM languages (Java, Scala, or Kotlin) strongly preferred

  • Experience with .NET, Python, or Ruby is also acceptable, provided you are motivated to work primarily with Java for back-end services, and willingness to deepen expertise in the JVM ecosystem

• Ability to innovate through iteration; using prototypes and experiments to navigate solution ambiguity and passionate about data insight 

• Proven ability to operate and troubleshoot complex systems crafted with microservice architecture

• Experience maintaining and improving legacy systems. Can evaluate and speak to tradeoffs concerning refactor vs rebuild vs buy

• Ability to learn and use in-house software framework/components/service to build solutions effectively

• Outstanding communicators who are curious, flexible, and selfless

Nice to have:

• Experience with React and GraphQL, or strong interest and ability to learn them quickly

• Genuine interest in full-stack development, and willingness to work with front-end tasks
