Senior Software Engineer - Big Data Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud and Platform Engineering

Los Gatos, CA

Do you spend your time thinking about simple, elegant code? Are you a highly skilled software engineer who wants to build useful tools, web services, and apis? Do you long for a chance to make it easier to consume, process, and understand data? Are you an expert in python, but often feel like dabbling in new languages when it makes sense?

We are seeking a talented software engineer to work on the tools and microservices that make up our big data platform. Netflix is ingesting hundreds of terabytes of data a day and has petabytes of data in the data warehouse. We work hard to build a platform that allows our data scientists to deal with this data at scale. But that isn't the only way that we need to interact with the data. This is where you come in. Whether it is building tools to allow for better exploration and visualization of the data, creating services to help coordinate work on the platform, or dreaming up new ways to write software that is simple yet powerful, we have a lot of hard, exciting problems to solve and many smart people to work with while we make Netflix the best place to enjoy movies and TV worldwide.

This is your dream job if you:
- Value simplicity and clarity in design. Our engineering strongly reflects this value
- Want to build a platform to solve interesting data problems
- Pride yourself on being an expert software engineer
- Love to build software in the cloud
- Desire to be constantly learning new things and can make good forward thinking judgments about new technology
- Have a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field

Technologies we use:
- Python, plus other languages where it makes sense
- Pandas, numpy, scipy, cherrypy among other useful python libraries
- Git for source control
- The right technologies for the problem at hand. We're flexible and open to rapid change
