Software Engineer 5 - Partner Payments

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 Partner Platform Engineering team builds scalable, highly-available, and resilient distributed systems, along with partner APIs, to drive partner product innovations. Our primary focus areas include partner payments and Partner UI. Partner Payments enable customer signup, account management, and payments through partner channels. Partner UI empowers partners to display Netflix title recommendations on their UIs, outside Netflix apps. Additionally, we offer B2B solutions that allow partners to reconcile account states or promote Netflix titles within their user experiences. Our services build an abstraction layer that isolates the complexities of external challenges from our internal systems, providing flexible integration options and building partner product innovations on our internal platforms.

As a member of this team, you will build Partner Payments products to drive revenue growth and improve key acquisition metrics. You will also have opportunities to work on infrastructure initiatives to uphold technical excellence, optimize and streamline operations, and elevate our partner-facing APIs to the next level of greatness.
