Netflix has been changing how people watch shows and movies, enabling on-demand access to thousands of movies and TV shows. Recently, Netflix has expanded its entertainment offering to include Live content, like Tom Brady Roast, the SAG Awards ceremony, WWE Live events or NFL Christmas games. Bringing stories in real-time to 260+ million viewers around the world is a hard challenge, setting high requirements for levels of operational observability into key health metrics across dozens of services and systems between camera and device screens.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced engineer to drive the design and development of end-to-end observability infrastructure and tooling to enable the Netflix Live operations team to launch live events without a hitch. This includes influencing design of physical infrastructure facilities, hosting the operational “command center”, working closely with Live Launch manager to understand their observability requirements, and drive the development of software systems providing monitoring key Live health metrics, and operational controls.

Responsibilities

This role combines cross-functional coordination, thought leadership, hands-on development, and data reporting. We are looking for a candidate with Live streaming experience, a proven track record of driving observability solutions, and experience partnering with a diverse set of engineering stakeholders to deliver new complex products.

Overview of Responsibilities

  • Work with Live Launch Management and Live SRE teams as key stakeholders and understand their operational routines, control knobs, and workflows.

  • Transform this knowledge into technical requirements and design for physical space and software solutions.

  • Be responsible for the architecture and design of end-to-end Live observability systems, including metrics collection systems, choice of dashboarding frameworks, and integration into operational workflows.

  • Partner with workspace teams on the build-out of physical operations.

  • Partner with data science and analytics teams to define and process operational metrics through Netflix telemetry and BI systems for accurate reporting.

  • Own or influence the development of company-wide telemetry, data processing, or dashboarding tooling.

Skills Required to be Successful

  • An understanding of the basics of Live Streaming infrastructure and operations.

  • Hands-on experience designing and developing monitoring and observability tooling for complex user-facing systems.

  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (Go, Python, Java, JavaScript).

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

  • Experience in leading projects with 5+ engineering and product stakeholders.

  • Analytical mindset, experience designing operational metrics.

  • Data visualization skills, experience with time-series analysis & data aggregation.

Nice to have Skills

  • Full-stack software development skills.

  • Live Operational Experience

  • Log analytics and processing experience.

  • History of collaboration with Product Management and Operations.
