Netflix Senior Software Engineer - Partner Engineering EMEA 

Netherlands, North Holland, Amsterdam 

883160543

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 subscription APIs. You will be successful at this job if you have a strong foundation in software engineering, experience building complete systems, and enjoy clearly communicating complex concepts.

The job expectations are broad: one day, you will diagnose a playback issue detected on a device by reading system logs and comparing them to the source code, and another day, you will triage a partner's payment glitch by examining the behavior of REST API calls. The next day, you may be reviewing the high-level architecture of a partner's integration to provide design feedback.

• Work with external partners to integrate, test, deploy, and improve the Netflix streaming application, content discovery APIs, and billing integration APIs over the entire device lifecycle using Netflix tools and data.

• Manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables over multiple partner engagements.

• Test partner devices, which includes black-box testing using our in-house testing suite.

• Collaborate with our data analytics team to discover, triage, and resolve post-launch payment API and playback issues.

• Represent the needs and feedback of our partners with headquarters product and engineering teams in California.

• Recognize opportunities for improvement in process or tooling and implement changes to deliver the same or better quality with less effort.

• Experience with streaming devices, or related applicable skills in embedded devices and other small systems.

• Experience with backend API (Rest/GraphQL) and B2B API integration.

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical, or equivalent practical experience.

• At least 7 years of experience in one or more of C/C++, Java, Rust, or Go. Experience in SQL, Python, and JavaScript is a plus.

• Experience with streaming device operating systems (Linux, Android) and middleware.

• Experience working with external partners or multiple internal stakeholders to implement complex systems.

• Demonstrated history of delivering on full development lifecycle and multiple successful releases.

• Ability and willingness to travel to Netflix’s Los Gatos, California headquarters, as well as regular regional EMEA partners when required.

• English proficiency is required. Additional language proficiency is highly valued, especially in French or Spanish.
