Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

Our Content & Business Products (CBP) Engineering teams build the products and services to enable the entire workflow of content production, from pitch to play, and provide innovative new ways to develop and manage entertainment at scale. Within the Content & Business Products org, Localization Tech team focuses on scaling the reach of our content by localizing Netflix’s content to 35 languages for both dubbing and subtitles  (and similar use cases such as  closed captions etc). This team is responsible for building, operating and maintaining tools that allow linguists to author scripts that assist with localization workflows. A big part of our charter is to innovate on improving accessibility to our content via audio description or SDH assets.
