Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.
Netflix has been changing the way people watch shows and movies and we've built a global Content Delivery Network called Open Connect , which sets the standard for video delivery. We’ve recently embarked on a journey to stream our content live, which comes with an exciting variety of opportunities and technical challenges.
To embrace those challenges, we are looking to add a software engineer to the Open Connect Control Plane team to craft the scalable, reliable systems needed to build the best Live experience possible.
The role involves building:
Cloud services that customers directly hit when they press ‘Play’
Algorithms for steering customers to Netflix Live hardware such that they have the best possible Quality-of-Experience, taking into account network topology, system load and other factors
Systems that smartly direct how Open Connect caching appliances fill from each other to deliver a Live stream from origin to the edge
Load-balancing algorithms for optimizing hardware utilization
Operational knobs and tools to quickly diagnose and fix problems as they arise: when you’re doing it live, every second counts!
We spend our time trying to answer questions like these:
What do we need to build in order to handle the biggest Live streaming event ever?
How do we design our systems to react to failure, traffic shifts and other changes in real-time?
What’s the best way to share system capacity between Live and VOD traffic?
How do we make our Live systems easy to operate?

You build robust and scalable distributed systems.
You are comfortable with ambiguity.
You are able to iterate quickly on ideas and incorporate feedback.
You care about building quality software that your teammates can support.
You have a passion for operational excellence
You believe that fostering an inclusive environment helps everyone do their best work.

Nice To Have:
Live streaming experience
Basic background in networking concepts
Big Data Experience (e.g. Hive, Spark, Presto, etc.)
Experience with ML or optimization algorithms
