Data Visualization Engineer (L5) - Product

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.

Everything that we build to delight our members, and all of the work we do to figure out how to do that better, relies on our extensive infrastructure, which spans what we rent from AWS to what we build ourselves (we operate our own custom-built content delivery network, Open Connect). Because this infrastructure is so central to everything we do, we want to ensure we are using it in the most effective and efficient way. Doing that well starts with great visibility into how we are using our infrastructure, and actionable metrics and analytics to help us take action as needed.

As a Senior Visualization Engineer you will join the team of Analytics Engineers, Data Engineers, and Data Scientists who partner with our infrastructure engineering teams to design and build visualization tools that help us make better decisions about our infrastructure, using data. You will work closely with engineering leadership, and our Strategy, Planning & Analysis partners to understand the most important decisions to be made in the Infrastructure space, and will then collaborate with Data Engineers and Data Scientists to tell that story through building and optimizing a performant, user-centric suite of infrastructure visualizations.

The ideal candidate will excel in data analytics, storytelling with data, cross-functional collaboration, and share a passion for continuously improving the way we use data to make the Netflix infrastructure better.
