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?

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.

Engineering Tools Integration Manager | Netflix, Inc. | Los Gatos, CA

Engineering Tools Integration Manager

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 an engineering leader to head our Engineering Tools Integration team. This team is highly cross-functional acting as a liaison between the Engineering Tools team and other engineering teams at Netflix. First and foremost, we ensure that the tools provided and supported by the Engineering Tools teams work well together, and raise awareness about how to effectively use these tools. We share the burden of migrations with our customers by scheduling in-depth consultations and migration engagements to help customer teams migrate from older, deprecated tools to newer technologies. Finally, we smooth new engineer's transition to Netflix by onboarding teams with Engineering Bootcamp, a hands-on series designed to help new employees build their first cloud application and for existing employees to become familiar with new additions to various services at Netflix.

The Tools Integration team consists of software developers and release engineers who deeply understand the tools provided by all of Engineering Tools and the way that services are built at Netflix. This combination of knowledge makes them effective at helping teams to adopt new technologies that will let those teams focus on the problems that they are trying to solve rather than on tooling. By helping the teams become self sufficient with these tools, and through close collaboration with the other Engineering Tools teams, the Tools Integration team bridges those gaps.

What we will be looking for in a successful candidate:

You recruit and lead stars. Hiring is a critical component of being successful at Netflix and you excel at building a world-class team that can deliver results.

You have a passion for building things the right way. 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. You have a passion for automation over manual work.

You are a hands-on technology leader. You are deeply technical, and can easily hold your own with architects and senior engineers in a technical conversation. You enjoy participating in architectural discussions and decisions.

You collaborate with other groups to achieve your goals. The Engineering Tools team partners with nearly every development team to provide high quality development, integration and deployment solutions. You emphasize soliciting input and listening to our partners.

You enjoy leading by example. Providing context and leadership on efficiency and visibility in the development process will be key toward the success of our continuous delivery solutions.

You are flexible about languages and platforms, but provide strong expertise in JVM-based languages. The Engineering Tools team and our partner teams bring in tools that help them to be effective. Languages evolve. Needs change. You balance the lure of shiny new languages with ensuring that they bring tangible benefits.

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

Minimum Requirements:
- BS or MS in Computer Science, or comparable experience
- Programming experience with JVM-based languages
- Expertise in system architecture and fluency in Java or other object-oriented programming languages
- Engineering and leadership experience in a production environment
- Project management with a lightweight touch
- Experience with fostering an environment of change
- Team building, management and strategic leadership experience
