The Role
At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world, and we continually push the boundaries of how entertainment is conceived, produced, and delivered to audiences everywhere. We currently stream content in more than 30 languages across 190 countries, serving over 260 million paid subscribers, and we’re expanding into new areas such as gaming and live events. Our engineering teams work every day to scale and improve both content production and member experiences in an increasingly complex software ecosystem.

Content Engineering develops the tools and services that internal and external creative partners use to create, launch, and promote our global content and advertising. Our products support the entire content creation workflow, from pitch to playback, and introduce innovative ways to build and manage entertainment at scale.
