About Strategic Technical Solutions Engineering (STS) For Netflix to continue to scale and produce quality content, the Studio and Corporate business teams work closely with product partners to innovate and develop technical solutions that increase operational efficiency across their functions. On the Studio side, these solutions support the entire content life cycle - planning, programming, producing, distributing and promoting content on a global scale; on the corporate side, they support functions such as Finance, Legal and Talent. These solutions include internal enterprise applications that support critical functions, as well as short-term technical solutions that increase operational efficiency at the business user level on a smaller, rapidly iterative scale. STS works directly with business stakeholders, cross-functional product teams, and engineering partners to deliver these short-term solutions. The team's goal is to translate business challenges and opportunities for operational improvement into focused, nimble, and highly impactful solutions as an integral part of the Netflix Studio product and enterprise ecosystem.

You will interface with business users, analyze their needs, design and develop a solution, or leverage existing technology/tools with customized enhancements. Most of the solutions involve data ingestion or export tasks. While we value your ability to create well-defined systems, your effectiveness will be related to your ability to context switch effectively while developing nimble solutions for the business. Your effectiveness in this role will be related to: • Your ability to learn quickly and switch contexts productively in a highly collaborative development environment. Your curiosity to gain business and technical context to determine the efficient level of engineering investment for the project scope. Your eagerness to share learning and project visibility with the team, partners, and stakeholders. Having a keen eye for identifying the team’s productivity tooling opportunities and working with partners to influence their feature roadmap You'll thrive in this role if: • You are passionate about solving problems and love every aspect of the full-stack software development life cycle. You understand the importance of seeking in-depth and broad context to build an effective solution. You enjoy building prototypes and short-term solutions to help improve and empower users to innovate on business workflows. You are comfortable contributing to solutions at all technical levels, from scripting to building a custom application. You are able to pivot and iterate quickly on solutions and share learnings with partnering teams in a cross-functional environment. You are highly collaborative and enjoy building strong internal and cross-functional partnerships. You have a passion for learning and professional growth Qualifications: • 4+ years of experience in full-stack development. • Comfortable working with: Node.js, Python or Java. • React or similar front-end frameworks. • Experience with API integrations (GraphQL, REST and/or gRPC). • Experience with end-to-end project ownership (user interview to project delivery). • Experience working with non-technical business stakeholders. • Keen understanding of database models and SQL. Generally, 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.
