You will have the chance to pioneer the development of new asset types and adapt existing ones to meet the evolving demands of unique presentation styles, business logic, and merchandising strategies within our dynamic environment. We are looking for someone who is technically proficient and can cultivate a collaborative and inclusive environment, mentoring a diverse team of engineers, including experienced engineers and newcomers. Above all, this leader should embody Netflix's core values, promoting creativity, curiosity, and excellence.
