This team focuses on enabling Smart TV+ partner devices - including TVs, streaming sticks, and other "10-foot" devices - with Netflix experiences by providing business-to-business solutions that scale the integrate, launch, operate, update, and retire lifecycle. In parallel, the team builds applications that enable partners to integrate with Netflix APIs to launch, operate, monitor, and update Partner Payment experiences (such as bundles for member growth), as well as tools that power Partner UI experiences like the Netflix Discovery Row.

We are looking for backend engineers who have the aptitude and agility to work across a broad spectrum of applications (e.g., device management, configuration, testing, and payment workflows) with a passion for intuitive user experiences.

You will excel in this role if you are comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with innovation, can deliver scalable technical solutions, remove technical debt, think strategically, make decisions for long-term effectiveness, and are deeply curious.

  • Strong programming skills in at least one backend language, with JVM languages (Java, Scala, or Kotlin) strongly preferred

  • Experience with .NET, Python, or Ruby is also acceptable, provided you are motivated to work primarily with Java for back-end services, and willingness to deepen expertise in the JVM ecosystem

• Ability to innovate through iteration; using prototypes and experiments to navigate solution ambiguity and passionate about data insight

• Proven ability to operate and troubleshoot complex systems crafted with microservice architecture

• Experience maintaining and improving legacy systems. Can evaluate and speak to tradeoffs concerning refactor vs rebuild vs buy
