Software Engineer L4 - Media Infrastructure Platform

Job Description

About the Team

The Media Infrastructure Platform team provides large-scale infrastructure for content media, enabling Netflix to store, access, and process media files at scale, reliably, and efficiently to meet the demands of Netflix streaming and studio. Our products are highly leveraged by Encoding, Netflix Studio, and Content Engineering. We closely partner with a variety of cross-functional teams, including Encoding Technology, Netflix Engineering Platform, Data Science Engineering, and Content Engineering, as well as Product Managers. The team currently owns a few key products such as a polyglot application framework, and container-based executor for media-aware serverless functions with observability tools and workflow orchestration frameworks, a storage layer built on top of S3 with a set of features like file and folder solution, lifecycle management, media sequence detection, Netflix access control, security, client side encryption, full file checksum, etc.

Besides the cloud services the team currently owns, the team is also looking to grow into a more diverse and hybrid media processing and storage media space to meet the needs of business growth.

You will be successful in this role if you:
• You are self-motivated and can work independently, while also being able to collaborating with engineers on the team as well as across functional teams

• You have excellent communication skills

Qualifications:
• Have 3+ years of experience with working on large-scale resilient distributed systems

• Have a good understanding of concepts like multi-threading and parallelism
• Experience in designing and developing microservices
• Experience in data modeling and API design
• Good understanding of software observability

Nice to have:
• Experience with UI/UX work as full stack engineer
• Experience in building platform/infrastructure
• Experience with cloud storage or file system
