Netflix Careers – Senior Data Engineer

Job Description:

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help us architect, source, and build these foundational data sets into a rich, detailed playground for both our own team members and the hundreds of Content & Studio colleagues we partner with. We’ve only just started down this path. This is an opportunity to shape a high-impact data space at Netflix from its early stages.

Job Responsibilities:

• Source data from new Content and Studio systems or from rich unstructured records that are waiting to be structured!
• Help craft the backend data layer of prototype applications or microservices used for reporting and analytic workflows
• Architect, strengthen, and expand the core data models that our Content and Studio functions use to answer business questions and evaluate their financial decisions. You’ll get to envision how all the data elements from multiple sources should fit together as a whole, and then execute on that plan
• Develop best practices for governance of data sets with sensitive information
• Partner with Analytics Engineers, Software Engineers, and business teams to create data sets that will serve analysis and reporting needs intuitively

Job Requirements:

• Comfort with ambiguity; able to thrive with minimal oversight and process
• Proficiency in Python, or willingness to grow into Python from your other scripting languages (i.e., Java, Scala)
• Hands-on experience building production data pipelines, ideally using one or more distributed processing frameworks such as Spark or Hive/Hadoop
• Experience ingesting and managing data sets that are messy or incomplete at source
• Expertise in data modeling and establishing data architecture across multiple systems
• Strong communication; able to own and deepen direct relationships with our Engineering, Product Management, and business partners
• Comfort working with – and learning – a variety of tech stacks
• Enthusiasm about innovating and learning in a fast paced environment
