They are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and own scalable data pipelines that support Content Finance planning and systems, directly impacting budget allocation and investment strategies.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and own scalable, resilient data pipelines and data products that power the core of Content Finance planning and systems
• Create data used in planning cycles to answer questions about content budgets and investment strategies
• Define modern data engineering practices, establish strong data foundations, and influence the use of GenAI in the data engineering ecosystem

Requirements:

• You write clean, elegant, maintainable code and are comfortable quickly learning new technologies independently
• You are proficient in at least one major programming language (e.g., Java, Scala, Python) and are very comfortable working with SQL
• You are a strong data modeler who can design clear, scalable, and future-proof data models that serve multiple use cases across finance and beyond
• You think broadly about systems: you understand the complexities of integrating with many upstream and downstream systems, and you can reason about data flows, contracts, and trade-offs across those systems
• You have a strong product mindset: you think beyond pipelines to the end users, the decisions they need to make, and how data products can unlock value
• You have a strong background in at least one of the following areas: distributed data processing, software engineering of data services, or data modeling and data warehousing
• You are familiar with big data technologies such as Spark or Flink and are comfortable working with very large, web-scale datasets
• You have strong data intuition, a keen eye for detail, and a deep passion for data quality, reliability, and correctness, including clear documentation, robust data contracts, and effective debugging practices
• You are curious and open to leveraging modern and emerging technologies, including GenAI and next‑generation AI tools, where they make sense and create durable value
• You resonate with the Netflix Culture and enjoy working independently while also collaborating closely, giving and receiving candid, constructive feedback
