Summary Generated by Built In

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.

Netflix’s source code is distributed across tens of thousands of code repositories written in numerous programming languages, developed by thousands of engineers. Engineers are constantly making changes to these repositories, which are being built and tested on Netflix's continuous integration infrastructure, powered by Jenkins. Our Jenkins-based infrastructure is hosted across 40+ controllers and 1000+ build agents, running tens of thousands of build jobs a day. However, it is time that we modernize our CI tooling, and we are looking for senior engineers to help us build a next-generation CI platform. 

| Your Day-to-Day
  • Driving feature work and taking ownership of services that are a part of Netflix’s Continuous Integration platform, which operate and manage various aspects of the CI tooling.

  • Leading workflow design, spotting opportunities for re-use, preventing anti-patterns, and minimizing future changes for users.

  • Operate and maintain a build controller and self-hosted build agents, optimizing for fast-starting, repeatable builds.

  • Collaborate with various other Platform teams to ensure their systems can integrate with our CI Platform.  

  • Support cross-organization critical change campaigns across a wide variety of source code repositories. 

  • Support customers with a variety of build and environment needs. 

  • Work cross-functionally to build new services, tools, and data models to operationalize our workflows at scale.

  • Participate in product reviews and team meetings, providing technical insight. Help scope, estimate, and prioritize between conflicting needs.

  • Evaluate new technologies and approaches to streamline and improve our rapid application development tooling and conventions.

  • Regularly learn new systems and tools as the Netflix platform and ecosystem evolve.

  • Participate in our on-call rotation and contribute to incident reviews.

| You may enjoy working with us if:
  • You are self-driven and highly motivated to deliver top-tier solutions with minimal guidance.

  • You also recognize when you're wrong, learning from your mistakes and moving past them.

  • You enjoy collaborating and pairing with engineers to understand what they want, figure out what they really need, and finally, what we should build.

  • Strive to embrace best practices and are always searching for opportunities to continually improve.

| We would love to work with you if:
  • You are excited to operate existing JVM infrastructure while building our next-gen CI platform.

  • You have experience running and operating continuous integration systems such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and BuildKite. 

  • You are passionate about solving developer productivity challenges for engineers at enterprise scale.

  • You are adept at designing and building API’s for customers, in particular with GraphQL. 

  • You excel at working with microservice architectures.

  • You are experienced with relational and non-relational data stores.
