60 Netflix Applications Engineering Manager Jobs Hiring Near You

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.

The Opportunity:

With the explosion of Internet TV, Netflix has grown to serve over 300 million paid subscribers in over 190 countries worldwide. The Cloud Infrastructure organization's mission is to increase the fleet-wide agility, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of our Platform. We are responsible for one of the largest Cloud Network footprints built on AWS and constantly pushing boundaries on bleeding-edge technology with co-innovation in driving IPv6 at hyperscale.

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineering Leader who will lead and grow a team of software developers within the Cloud Network Engineering organization. This team is responsible for delivering secure, performant, and reliable connectivity and reachability through policy-driven cloud governance and observability software. The team provides Layer2 - Layer4 networking solutions that ensure consistent network scalability and secure traffic management throughout the Netflix ecosystem by writing software that abstracts AWS primitives and the complexities of resilience, security, routing, and insights.

You will lead a stunning team of Software Engineers who tackle some of the largest cloud networking challenges in the industry. The team re-architects the approach to managing and exposing modern cloud connectivity/traffic features. You will own some of our key bets, ship overarching abstractions, and create APIs that enable Netflix developers to completely change how they interact with the products and infrastructure delivered by the broader cloud infrastructure organization.

This team has reliably enabled Netflix's hyper cloud growth by co-innovating with AWS, driving technologies like IPv6, Hybrid infrastructure, and delivering eBPF-based products to create novel solutions to classic problems, like NAT64. If you're looking for a deeply technical and highly dynamic opportunity that will have an outsized impact on how Netflix scales in the future, we'd love to talk to you!

What you will do:

• Own the Tier 0 network governance layer that determines how every Netflix workload connects, from placement and addressing through security group policy and firewall enforcement.

• Build, scale, and mentor a cohesive team of amazing engineers.

• Form strong cross-functional partnerships driven by trust to achieve alignment with many engineering teams and ensure our solutions meet their needs, while maintaining our focus on agility, scalability, reliability, and efficiency.

• Build Netflix's network observability capability, evolving eBPF-based flow capture and IP topology into a full L3/L4 visibility platform that engineering teams use to understand, debug, and secure their traffic.

• Drive the transition from per-service network configuration to opinionated, policy-driven defaults, making the secure path the easy path for thousands of microservices without requiring each team to be a networking expert.

What we are looking for:

• A product-focused leader who understands what customers want and has a passion for building critical infrastructure platforms.

• Leadership that treats Engineering process as a product, identifies friction in how the team builds, ships, and fixes software.

• Strong software development focus with past work abstracting away complexity and guiding teams to deliver simple, effective solutions to customers.

• Outcome-focused mindset and able to think from first principles.

• Experience building and operating complex distributed systems at scale. We use AWS, experience with building/consuming the networking stack of a public cloud is a plus.

• Shipping through organizational complexity. Proactively resolves cross-team dependencies, migration sequencing, competing priorities. Builds consensus and influences peer teams to move initiatives forward.

• Solid understanding of Layer3/Layer4 networking, and network security is a plus.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
