Senior Cloud Tools Engineer

Cloud and Platform Engineering

Los Gatos, CA

Netflix is the world's leading streaming video service, and our growth is accelerating. As we grow internationally, we are continually improving our cloud-based technology infrastructure to help us scale and move even faster. Cloud-based technology is powering our explosive growth and streaming experience, while presenting new challenges to building a reliable service on top of ephemeral commodity hardware.

We are looking for a fearless Senior Cloud Tools Engineer to help put developer tools, such as version control, continuous integration, and code review into the cloud. Fearless because while those tools weren't designed for the cloud, we're going to put them there anyhow, taking advantage of Netflix tools where we can, and building new tooling where we need to.

Where Netflix is going today, we see other companies going in the future. Help us build additional tooling, including dashboards and alerting, to address the gaps in operationalizing the cloud. Will this be open source software that the rest of the community can benefit from? That's for you to decide. Are you that strong internal advocate for open source who can balance Netflix priorities and those of the external community?

What we will be looking for in a successful candidate:

You're a lifelong learner. The Engineering Tools team strives to create tools and systems that enable our engineers to build and deploy software in a reliable and repeatable way that is highly performant, resilient, and efficiently gathers real time data. You will be stretching the limits of what the developers of these tools intended, and working around deficiencies.

You have a passion for building pipelines as opposed to products. While you will write a fair amount of code, a lot of your work will involve integrating systems to get the continuous delivery pipeline humming.

You are flexible about languages and platforms, but provide strong expertise in scripting and have experience with JVM-based languages. The Engineering Tools team and our partner teams bring in tools that help them to be effective.  Our teams vary in their choice of language. You adapt easily.

You strive to focus your energies on unique problems rather than those that you have already solved. The formalization of our tooling is driven by your passion to remove mundane tasks and answer repetitive questions, as well as to serve our customer community well. You don't just "do" -- you strive to understand the "why".

You desire a fast-paced, dynamic environment. This is a high-growth environment where priorities shift fast. For more context on our culture, check out the slide deck at: jobs.netflix.com. Some of the tools built by our team are found here: http://netflix.github.com

Minimum Requirements:
- BS or MS in Computer Science, or comparable experience
- Expertise in system architecture and fluency in Java or other object-oriented programming languages
- System administration proficiency, including Linux and Amazon Web Services, is a plus
