Data Science Manager - Engineering

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

Netflix is a technical powerhouse, with infrastructure that powers a high performance, high reliability and high scale entertainment service. Our members want a seamless, immersive Netflix experience, and we deliver it with an intricate set of systems working together behind the scenes. Video and audio must be encoded into different formats and resolutions, distributed across our internally build content delivery network, then adaptively streamed by the wide range of devices our members use to watch the content they love. We have to do this all in cost effectively, securely, and nimbly.  Our data team takes a holistic approach to measuring and improving these systems and their impact on Netflix members as well as internal engineering teams. As we add new business areas like games, live content, and ads into the Netflix product, we’re asking new questions about how our technology should work and how to best serve our members.
