Data Engineer 5, Experimentation Platform

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

A culture of experimentation enables Netflix to continuously evolve and improve our products, delivering more joy to existing members and attracting new members from around the globe. Because experimentation is so pervasive at Netflix, we continually enable new capabilities and onboard new initiatives to the platform with close cross-functional collaboration with our Software Engineering, Data Engineering, and Data Science partners.

At the nerve center of experimentation at Netflix is our internal, Netflix-wide, Experimentation Platform which accelerates innovation by enabling teams to rapidly learn from and act on their ideas. We are looking to add a data engineer to the team to improve the speed, reliability, and structure of our data pipelines that process billions of new events per day.

• Work closely with data engineering and data science partners to set and improve the standards for experiment analysis across Netflix, e.g. via better data contracts and data health

• Design, build, operate, and maintain Spark data pipelines that process billions of allocation events per day and expose a silver layer in Iceberg

• Develop new tooling and pipeline automation to meet emerging experimentation-related business needs

Qualifications

• Strong proficiency with technologies like Spark or Flink, comfort working with large scale datasets

• Strong proficiency in data modeling, processing, automated testing, health, observability, and debugging
