Description

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 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 Cloud Network Engineering team’s goal is to create network architectures that can readily evolve with the needs of our product services and initiatives. We achieve this goal by developing tools and services that improve network availability, scale, performance and security. Our domain ownership is divided into two high-level segments: Cloud Network (network infrastructure) and Host Networking (the network stack). Our goals are to scale streaming services and support our expanded business use-cases of Studio, Gaming, and Animation. We deliver on these goals via our mission to evolve, manage, optimize, and scale the network on Netflix’s compute infrastructure. 

 

Must have Skills & Experience:

  • A deep commitment to continuous learning, coupled with a pragmatic approach to thinking and the ability to navigate ambiguous areas and break down complex problems.

  • Proficiency in algorithms and data structures, with the ability to apply these concepts to solve complex engineering challenges.

  • Experience with C++, Go, Python, or similar object-oriented programming languages and a demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code.

  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals across layers L2 to L7. This includes knowledge of protocols, network architecture, and troubleshooting.

  • Experience in architecting solutions using cloud-native technologies and frameworks, with a strong focus on scalability and resilience. Expertise in cloud networking, particularly within AWS, including VPC design, subnetting, security groups, and routing, is highly desirable.

  • A passion for technology combined with the ability to navigate ambiguous areas, breaking down complex problems into actionable solutions.

Nice to have Skills: 

  • Familiarity with cloud computing platforms like AWS, Azure, GCP, or similar.

  • Experience with container and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Experience building and operating microservices within a highly reliable and distributed systems environment. Demonstrated ability to ensure service resilience and scalability.

  • Familiarity with Temporal or similar workflow orchestration tools for managing complex application workflows and ensuring fault-tolerant service execution.

What you’ll be doing in this role:

  • Balancing bias to action with the ability to make well-informed bets.

  • Engaging directly with end engineering users to understand their needs and improve their experience.

  • Leaning into proactiveness and effective communication in pursuit of cross-functional alignment.

  • Writing and maintaining code to solve complex network problems, automate network configuration, and streamline management processes, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of our network infrastructure.

  • Contributing to the design and architecture of network components, including VPCs, load balancers, network gateways, and IPv6 configurations, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of the platform.

  • Engaging directly with end engineering users to understand their needs and continuously improve their experience with our network solutions.

  • Understanding and addressing business needs at scale, delivering high-quality solutions that align with our organizational goals and strategy.

You will be successful in the role if:

  • You thrive in ambiguity; complex and fuzzy requirements are more common than clearly defined customer expectations.

  • You take incremental steps toward solving big problems; test and learn approaches work better than heads down development.

  • You are independent and self driven; progress is often self-directed by teams & individuals; 

  • You’ve read about Netflix’s culture and think you would thrive here.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
