We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
Our mission to entertain the world is anchored in our content, and data is a crucial component in shaping our comprehensive content strategy. As we envision the future of content at Netflix, we're seeking an Analytics Engineer to join the Content Applied Science and Analytics team. In this role, you will partner with key content verticals–including Film, Series, Live, and Licensing–working on both ongoing strategic efforts and new content initiatives. This role will leverage cutting-edge analysis, data science, metrics, and models to drive progress in these spaces. Your role will extend beyond advising the business on content performance; you'll also be a thought partner to the diverse cross-functional teams that bring our content to life.
The ideal candidate for this role will excel at collaborating with partners across our business, using data to help our content teams create and distribute content that drives member value. They will also be a thought leader in the analytics domain, capable of transforming complex metrics and data science outputs into actionable insights.

Requirements

• Strategic Ownership: You operate with a high degree of autonomy, capable of owning the end-to-end vision for complex and ambiguous cross-functional projects and translating broad business goals into concrete technical strategies. Prior experience building data products, metrics, or strategies from the ground up is a strong plus.
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship: You pay attention to the details and make a conscious effort to understand causes instead of just the effects. You act as a force multiplier for the team, enjoying the process of mentoring others, conducting code/design reviews, and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Influential Communication: Exceptional communication with technical and non-technical audiences; you can effectively influence senior stakeholders and explain complex technical concepts with clarity.

• Technical Proficiency: Delivers scalable data solutions by merging advanced SQL and Python proficiency with data engineering workflows, ensuring reliability through engineering best practices like CI/CD, testing, and version control.

Responsibilities

• Empower New Content Initiatives: You will own the data vision for new content initiatives, defining success metrics, setting the architectural direction, and guiding the strategy for emerging formats from the ground up.
• Own Data Strategy: You will define and lead the analytics roadmap for your vertical, proactively identifying high-leverage opportunities that shape our comprehensive content strategy.
• Architect Advanced Insights: You will design and implement high-level analytical frameworks, dashboards, and custom tools that set the standard for how we measure and visualize content performance.
• Elevate Technical Standards: You will act as a technical bar-raiser for the team–mentoring peers, reviewing technical designs, and establishing best practices to ensure we are building robust, scalable solutions.
