The Role...
Netflix has been on the leading edge of the cloud since beginning the migration to AWS 15 years ago and runs one of the largest Cloud footprints around. The Cloud Engineering organization exists to manage that massive scale, constantly innovating to increase fleet-wide agility, efficiency, and reliability of the Netflix cloud infrastructure, while solving scale problems that we are the first to ever hit. We build, operate, and maintain Compute, Network and Storage services so that developers at Netflix can rely on foundational building blocks when entertaining hundreds of millions of customers around the world. Join us as we push the boundaries of performance and resilience, empowering developers to create groundbreaking applications on a reliable platform.
The Storage team focuses on providing storage and insights services to platforms, applications and users around the globe which are performant, secure and centrally managed; enabling platforms to move, store and efficiently archive data in the cloud. We offer a consistent mechanism to create & manage object/block/file resources, integrate Netflix ecosystem for access control and provide observability into the cost & lifecycle of these resources, by taking ownership of existing tools and shaping a more cohesive strategy. We manage storage at exabyte scale and enable Netflix to serve a huge amount of content around the globe.
Must-have Skills

Engaging directly with end engineering users to understand their needs and improve their experience.
Understanding and solving business needs at scale with high quality solutions.
Leaning into proactiveness and effective communication in pursuit of cross-functional alignment.
You Will Be Successful In The Role If
You thrive in ambiguity; complex and fuzzy requirements are more common than clearly defined customer expectations.
You take incremental steps toward solving big problems; test and learn approaches work better than heads down development.
You are independent and self driven; progress is often self-directed by teams & individuals.
