Software Engineer (4/5) — Developer Platform

About the Developer Platform Teams

The Infrastructure Engineering Organization at Netflix has teams focusing on a number of different areas including: modernization, resilience & reliability tooling, internal application interface development, improving the technical health of systems, and collecting and reporting on the metrics that help Netflix quantify and improve developer productivity.

At the moment we are hiring for following teams:

We are currently expanding following teams in Engineering Operations Tooling area:

• Availability Tooling

This group builds and owns the tooling that keeps Netflix's Infrastructure Engineering running smoothly, spanning fleet-wide change automation and availability tooling. On the availability side, we invest in cloud fleet monitoring and fleet-wide service dependency graph generation to ensure high availability and resiliency, alongside systems for deploying and monitoring changes at scale.

• Knowledge Platform

The Knowledge Platform — born from the merger of our Discovery & Learning (technical documentation) and Support Solutions (developer assistance) initiatives — is how Netflix engineers find answers, whether by reading great documentation or by asking a question and getting an immediate, accurate response. We're reimagining both spaces with cutting-edge GenAI: platforms for hosting and generating technical documentation, and support solutions that deliver fast, high-quality, GenAI-powered responses to developers at scale.

About the Role

We are seeking experienced Software Engineers who are passionate about writing software that will help other engineers write software. The ideal candidate will have a strong generalist background, having built complex applications in Java or other programming languages. This role requires demonstrated experience scaling services and applications to serve hundreds of users and thousands of requests per minute. Engineers in this job will interact with customers and product managers to ensure that the team is delivering the tools and features needed by Netflix. Writing design documents, driving changes across teams and organizations, and ensuring the reliability and success of productivity tools is a significant part of this role. The tools and services delivered by engineers in this role will span multiple parts of the stack (from persistence and data layers through business logic and service APIs to front-end user UX) so familiarity with each of those areas is required, though focus, experience, and expertise may be concentrated on one layer.
