Spotlight on Data Platform Teams:
Storage and Movement Infrastructure
The Storage and Movement Infrastructure (SMI) team builds the core infrastructure that powers Netflix's online data stores and data movement systems. Our mission is to amplify the effectiveness of these teams by delivering secure, scalable, and high-leverage infrastructure abstractions that minimize duplicated effort, reduce operational risk, and accelerate time-to-delivery for Tier-0, low-latency, highly available services. We identify common challenges across Online Data Stores and Data Movement platforms-such as fleet management, schema management, control planes, security, and reliability-and turn them into shared, foundational primitives.
As part of SMI, you'll work on platforms that sit at the heart of Netflix's data ecosystem: a unified Schema Management Platform for Protobuf and Avro; a Fleet Management Platform for CI/CD and large stateful/stateless fleets; core Control Plane infrastructure for capacity, provisioning, and operations; and security and access management via consistent authentication/authorization layers. You'll also help build resilience and reliability tooling, including SLI/SLO enablement, and a Fault Management platform for large fleets. This is a high-impact, cross-pillar team that partners closely with both Online Data Stores and Data Movement, shaping the paved path for how data services are operated at scale at Netflix.
Data Movement Platform - Abstractions
Provides a self-service, abstracted platform that empowers diverse user groups across Netflix to fulfill their data movement and processing needs. We own and operate Data Mesh and Data Bridge. They are the paved paths for real-time and batch data movement and transformation, with huge adoption among many teams at Netflix. We also focus on operational automation, reliability and data consistency. You will have the opportunity to work on a massive distributed system that operates thousands of pipelines and processes billions of records per second.
KeyValue
The KeyValue team (part of the Online Data Stores portfolio) offers a managed key value store to meet Netflix's operational data requirements across all lines of business. Our focus is on developing and maintaining a high-performance, reliable, and efficient key-value store. Additionally, we enhance developer productivity by providing a secure, intuitive and opinionated access layer for our backing storage engines including Cassandra.
This team is passionate about building innovative, efficient, performant and scalable offerings for our customers. Our team also engages with the Cassandra open source community, actively contributing to and responsibly stewarding the development and use of open source software.
Data Developer Experience
The Data Developer Experience (DDX) team at Netflix is dedicated to enhancing the experience of data practitioners-including Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers, ML Engineers, and Data Scientists. As we evolve toward the next generation of our data platform, the DDX team is focused on boosting productivity by developing cutting-edge data tools and infrastructure that eliminate the friction and toil of building, maintaining, and leveraging data products. If you're passionate about shaping the future of developer experience, making it faster and easier for Netflix data practitioners to deliver outstanding data products, come join our team!
