Location: Los Gatos,California,United States of America

Department: Engineering

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.

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.
