Solutions Software Engineer

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.

For Netflix Studio to continue to scale and produce quality content, the Studio business teams work closely with product partners to innovate and develop technical solutions that support the entire content life cycle — planning, programming, producing, distributing and promoting content on a global scale. These solutions include internal enterprise applications that support critical functions, as well as short‑term technical solutions that increase operational efficiency at the business user level on a smaller, rapidly iterative scale.

STS works directly with business stakeholders, cross‑functional product teams, and engineering partners to deliver these short‑term solutions. The team’s goal is to translate business challenges and opportunities for operational improvement into focused, nimble, and highly impactful solutions as an integral part of the Netflix Studio product and enterprise ecosystem.
