Netflix Senior Software Engineer Partner Engineering - APAC 

Taiwan, Taiwan Province, Hsinchu 

821665268

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 the streaming device ecosystem 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 inspecting the source codes, 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.
