Senior Software Engineer

The Netflix API is used to power hundreds of devices, everything from game consoles, to mobile phones, to web sites. The API is handling billions of requests a day and more than 35,000 requests per second at peak times. By some accounts, Netflix is also responsible for more than 30% of the US bandwidth during prime time (http://bit.ly/m1DIPP). The growth of the API is integral to Netflix’s long-term strategy. It also enables Netflix and its partners to rapidly innovate on new Netflix scenarios and enable new devices.

THE CULTURE

When you get up in the morning and think about your work for the day, are you excited? Can’t wait to get started? Do you feel like the work you do makes a difference and moves the business in a meaningful way? Do your co-workers know who you are, what you do, and that you do it exceptionally well? Do you want to work with smart people who love to solve hard problems? This is the kind of environment that we value at Netflix. High performance is not only noticed but required.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The API team is seeking a senior web engineer to develop new APIs and web services to support our growing international streaming products. If you are into developing APIs and supporting other developers with your work, this is the job for you.
The successful candidate will have strong object-oriented design and development expertise as well as experience developing highly scalable, multi-tier, web systems. He or she will work closely with other internal development teams and support external partners and developers, so strong interpersonal and project management skills are a must. Direct experience developing APIs and cloud services is a plus.
