About the Developer Platform Teams
The Infrastructure Engineering Organization at Netflix has teams focusing on a number of different areas including: modernization, resilience & reliability tooling, internal application interface development, improving the technical health of systems, and collecting and reporting on the metrics that help Netflix quantify and improve developer productivity.
At the moment we are hiring for following teams:
1. Engineering Operations Tooling area
We are currently expanding following teams in this space:
- Availability Tooling: This group builds and owns the tooling that keeps Netflix's Infrastructure Engineering running smoothly, spanning fleet-wide change automation and availability tooling. On the availability side, we invest in cloud fleet monitoring and fleet-wide service dependency graph generation to ensure high availability and resiliency, alongside systems for deploying and monitoring changes at scale.
- Knowledge Platform: The Knowledge Platform — born from the merger of our Discovery & Learning (technical documentation) and Support Solutions (developer assistance) initiatives — is how Netflix engineers find answers. We're reimagining both spaces with cutting-edge GenAI: platforms for hosting and generating technical documentation, and support solutions that deliver fast, high-quality, GenAI-powered responses to developers at scale.
2. Health Integrity of the Paved Road (HIPR)
The Health Integrity of the Paved Road (HIPR) team is (another) one of three pillars in Netflix's System Health, Validation & Insights Platform group. The Paved Road empowers Netflix engineers with the tools and context they need to make well-informed, responsible decisions. The HIPR team's mission is to enable Netflix engineers go (and stay) on the Paved Road effortlessly.
