Software Engineer 5, Partner Engineering - EMEA

The Partner Engineering team at Netflix delivers and maintains the high-quality Netflix experience on hundreds of millions of televisions and set-top boxes around the world.We are expanding our engineering team in Netflix's Amsterdam office. In this role, you will serve as the technical interface between Netflix and the engineering teams of our MVPD operator partners in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. You will both represent Netflix engineering to our partners and represent the partner, and their needs and interests, to other teams at Netflix.A significant portion of our subscriber growth comes through our operator partnerships in Europe, meaning your work will contribute concretely to the continued success of Netflix.We want to delight our customers with a service that just works, always. This requires our engineers to have a truly full-stack understanding of the Netflix experience, from playback device architecture to the design and implementation of our B2B payment APIs. You will be successful at this job if you have a strong foundation in software engineering with experience building complete systems, enjoy communicating complex ideas to other people, and have a strong desire to find creative solutions to repetitive tasks, reducing effort for Netflix and our partners.The job expectations are broad: one day you will be diagnosing a playback issue detected on a particular device by reading device logs and comparing it to the source code, on another day you will be triaging a partner's payment glitch by examining the behavior of REST API calls. The job is not coding on a regular basis, like a traditional software engineering role, but we expect our engineers to have a strong foundation in software engineering so they can engage with our internal and external engineering teams and implement technical solutions with our partners as a respected technical peer.Our unique company culture and values are essential to the way the Partner Experience team operates.
