Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with 278 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 Role

At Netflix, we seek to entertain the world by inventing entertainment experiences our people can’t live without and connecting them with stories for our over 270 million members in 190 countries. Recently, Netflix has expanded its entertainment offering to include Live content, like The Roast of Tom Brady Comedy Special, the SAG Awards ceremony, and The Netflix Slam tennis match. Our scope will grow to include premium live entertainment with partners like WWE and the NFL in 2025. 

Member Engagement and Experience Data Science and Engineering team is at the forefront of driving innovations in Netflix’s core product experience within our streaming and new business domains through data. The team collaborates extensively with Product and Engineering teams to identify, incubate and enable product innovations leveraging robust measurement techniques (analytics, experimentation, modeling) and scalable tooling. 

As a Data Scientist focusing on Live discovery, you’ll be at the exciting intersection of Netflix’s core product and the emerging live streaming experience. By partnering with the cross-functional team you will be driving product innovation in this new area while ensuring a coherent overall product experience for our members.

In this role, you will:

  • Drive product innovation through robust measurement strategies in experimentation, modeling, and analytics, keeping the overall product vision in mind and focusing on Live Streaming.
  • Establish strong partnerships with stakeholders to shape the space's vision, whether by helping determine a product strategy or defining new metrics.
  • Develop experimentation and measurement frameworks to increase the velocity of investments and aid complex decision-making.
  • Facilitate ownership and accountability by ensuring that the team produces trustworthy, high-quality outputs that influence the decisions and direction of member experience. 
  • Lead or enable engineering and product partners to lead the design, analysis, and interpretation of experiments that shape product decisions.

To be successful in this role, you have:

  • At least five years of professional experience applying statistical and mathematical concepts to solve real-world problems at scale.
  • Passion for driving product vision and innovation strategy by leveraging a broad set of techniques and building strong partnerships with stakeholders.
  • Strong statistical skills and intuition, ideally utilized in experimentation or other product analytics settings, are required to solve problems in consumer-facing product areas.
  • Expertise in SQL and statistical programming (Python preferred).
  • Experience with algorithms as a product (e.g. recommendation systems, ranking algorithms.) is a bonus
  • Exceptional communication with technical and non-technical audiences across a wide group of cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Good judgment to balance between addressing stakeholder or test-specific needs and investing in scalable solutions to serve general use cases. Ability to work independently and drive your own projects.
  • Comfort with ambiguity; ability to thrive with minimal oversight and process.

Our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $150,000 - $750,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
