Engineering Manager, Catalog Integration

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 Title and Launch Management (TLM) team is responsible for building and innovating the technology foundations that enable the ingest, setup, launch, and global distribution of all types of entertainment on Netflix—including series, movies, games, ads, live events, trailers, and more.

TLM acts as the bridge between the title creation lifecycle and the consumer experience, ensuring that launching titles on Netflix is efficient, flexible, accurate, and scalable.

Our team's goal is to make launching titles as seamless as possible, supporting both operational and creative needs across the company.

The Catalog Integration team turns the outputs of many independent content workflows into a coherent catalog that other systems can use. Partner teams create the artwork, language assets, ratings, descriptions, trailers, and other information that surrounds a title;
Catalog Integration provides the federated data API and transformation layer that bring those outputs together, connects them into the catalog graph, and transforms them into a consistent view.

We publish the real-time feeds that unblock every downstream, member-facing system — the moment our feeds go out, hundreds of services spring into action to serve that update to members.

We invest in proprietary, cutting-edge tooling for data snapshots, recovery, graph-aware rollbacks, fast/override publication lanes, and realtime overrides, so that one bad entry never holds up the rest of the catalog.

Our work enables Netflix's cutting edge business bets like Live, Games, and Sports while continuing to deliver the critical data that drives the streaming video content experience.

You will lead a team of software engineers to deliver high-impact results.

• Own the reliability and timeliness of the real-time catalog feeds and publication pipeline that unblock every downstream, member-facing system, including the fast lanes and override lanes that keep a bad entry from holding up the rest of the catalog
• Own Catalog Entity, our shared content modeling abstraction, evolving it to represent common structure and content-type‑specific variation across films, episodic series, live shows, sports, and future content types without requiring a bespoke pipeline for each

• Partner with peer teams on setup-side object modeling and on the downstream member-facing contract
• Lead collaboration with engineers, program managers, product managers, and other stakeholders to drive vision, strategy, and adoption
• Foster a culture of accountability, ensuring timely and reliable delivery of the team's roadmap to support business needs
