[Remote] Engineering Manager – OC Foundation Infrastructure Services
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Netflix is a company dedicated to entertaining the world through innovative storytelling and technology. They are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a team focused on building and operating CI/CD pipelines, automated validation, and lab infrastructure for their Linux and FreeBSD based edge platforms.
Responsibilities
• Lead and grow a team that combines a highly technical CI/CD and validation group with an operations-focused lab group, blending deep systems expertise with developing talent to support our Linux/FreeBSD-based edge platforms
• Own and evolve scalable CI/CD pipelines and automated qualification with clear release/rollback gates, comprehensive testing, and strong observability
• Evolve and operate test and load infrastructure that runs production-like Live, VOD, Ads, and Cloud Gaming workloads and surfaces platform contention
• Manage lab operations and capacity, including hardware provisioning, inventory and ticket workflows, contractor coordination, remote access, and efficient use of lab resources
• Streamline the lab’s security architecture so that access controls, isolation mechanisms, and workflows are tightly aligned with platform security standards and compliance requirements
• Define processes and tooling so lab operations can reliably support CI/CD and validation needs, bringing order and prioritization to a high-volume, often ambiguous request stream
• Partner closely with OS, hardware, application, and security teams to align validation and lab support with their roadmaps, integrate functional and security guardrails into CI/CD, and debug complex regressions of large scale
• Lead the use of AI to develop tools and analysis systems that improve developer productivity, operational triage, and the efficiency of CI/CD, validation, and lab workflows
• Partner in bringing up and evaluation of new devices from CPU, GPU, and other hardware vendors in the lab, enabling analysis, validation, and integration into our edge platforms
• Drive engineering excellence by setting technical standards, defining metrics and SLOs, and using data and postmortems to continually improve systems, practices, and lab operations
Skills
• Experience as an Engineering Manager and a technical leader for highly technical teams in areas such as infrastructure, platform, systems, CI/CD and release engineering
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate between deep technical detail and clear business impact
• Deep hands-on background in systems software, with meaningful experience in one or more of: Linux and/or FreeBSD low-level OS development or administration
• Strong experience with CI/CD and test automation, including designing and operating pipelines for complex multi-component systems and using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar CI systems
• Proven ability to design, build, and operate services that support CI/CD and test automation, delivering reliable, observable, scalable systems and efficient use of compute and hardware resources
• Demonstrated success leading through influence, working cross-functionally with OS, hardware, and security teams, and driving alignment and roadmaps across multiple groups
• Experience with hardware lab automation, PXE boot, imaging, remote power control, serial access, and rack automation
• Validating BIOS and firmware behavior, managing firmware rollouts
• Boot, networking, and storage internals for Linux and/or FreeBSD
• Familiarity with performance tooling such as perf, flamegraphs, bpftrace/eBPF, DTrace, fio, and network benchmarking tools
• Using AI tools for operational triage (log clustering, anomaly detection) with clear guardrails and fallbacks
• Incident response practices, including postmortems and preventative engineering actions
• Contributions to or collaboration with open-source communities
Benefits
