  • Build and enhance manual workflows and automated review systems that rely on ML and creative understanding to improve SLAs.

  • Ensure compliance of ad campaigns and creatives with Netflix policy, brand safety guidelines, and global/local laws and regulations.

  • Stay informed about industry trends and technologies, particularly in the programmatic ecosystem.

Requirements:
  • 3+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on backend development.

  • Strong product mindset with experience in delivering large, complex projects in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders (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.

  • Experience in building ad creative lifecycle management, including ingestion, encoding, review, and managing and optimizing CDN deployments.

Nice-to-Haves:
  • Familiarity with legal compliance and the changing landscape of ads regulations worldwide.

  • Familiarity with ML and advertising systems that leverage data to drive optimal outcomes for users and the business.

  • Experience working in the CTV space and knowledge of its unique constraints.

  • Awareness of ads industry technology standards (e.g., VAST, OpenRTB) or experience working on an industry consortium effort or working group.
