At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology.

Come be a part of what's next. Content Promotion & Distribution Data Engineering team helps enable and inform how we launch, promote, and distribute Netflix content across surfaces, channels, and markets. When a Netflix member opens our app, visits a partner device, or encounters our campaigns off-service, we have a few precious moments to help them choose a story that is right for them at that moment in time.

Presenting compelling evidence - artwork, trailers, synopses, notifications, and marketing assets - that authentically represent each title and resonate with the member is essential to this effort. We also work to ensure these experiences scale globally across languages, devices, and distribution channels. Data and insights are at the heart of how we make these decisions.

Our role in Data Engineering is to make this possible: to provide robust, scalable, and well-modeled tabular and multimodal data foundations that power analytics, experimentation, and machine learning across the Content Promotion & Distribution ecosystem. We are looking for a seasoned leader to manage our Content Promotion & Distribution Data Engineering team.

: Title launch management and promotional planning Analytics and optimization for promotional media Content media and ML foundations, including scalable access to media assets Emerging GenAI/ML use cases in promotion and creative automation (e.g., Synthetic voice, machine translation, etc.) Provide technical vision and strategy for how we model, store, transform, and serve both structured and multimodal data to power analytics, experimentation, and ML at scale. Balance near-term and long-term needs, from ongoing support of stakeholder quarterly goals to multi-year investments in infrastructure and "paved paths" for ML/GenAI research and productionization. Set and raise the technical bar for data engineering craft in this space, including: Scalable and interpretable analytical data models Reliable batch and streaming pipelines Well-governed, discoverable, and reusable ML feature and media datasets Drive alignment in ambiguity by clarifying trade-offs, making principled decisions, and bringing diverse partners along a shared roadmap

Grow and mentor the team through thoughtful observation, coaching, and courageous, honest feedback; help engineers navigate career development across data, software, and ML engineering paths. Build both software and social glue across a wide network of stakeholders-VPs, Directors, Managers, and ICs-enabling decisions that affect hundreds of millions of members and major content and marketing investments.

You are comfortable owning the technical quality of both: Analytics-focused data engineering (ETL/ELT, modeling, warehousing, data quality), and ML-focused data engineering (feature pipelines, media and multimodal data preparation, training/serving data sets), even if you are not writing production code every day.

You are a crisp communicator who develops strong relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders-technical and non-technical-and can drive alignment across Director/Manager-level partners.
