Senior Software Engineer (L5) - Developer Infrastructure

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’s source code is distributed across tens of thousands of code repositories written in numerous programming languages developed by thousands of engineers, hosted on GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES). Engineers commit thousands of code changes daily, which are built and tested on Netflix's continuous integration (CI) infrastructure, powered by Jenkins. Builds running both locally and in our CI infrastructure will leverage build artifacts published to Artifactory. Our team hosts all of this core development tooling, and much more in Netflix AWS cloud infrastructure. We are looking for engineers to join this team to manage and evolve Netflix’s Development Infrastructure.
