About The Position

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. 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. The Content DSE team provides Netflix with a trusted measurement framework for content quality and value. We develop and evolve the metrics that inform billions of dollars in content investment decisions. As a measurement center of excellence, we don't just compute metrics-we define what success means, build the infrastructure to scale them, and make them accessible to stakeholders across the company. We are seeking a Senior Analytics Engineer to build measurement insights, data products, and prototypes that inform strategic content decisions. This role will partner closely with the business and data scientists to translate research concepts into production-ready prototypes, develop new metrics from concept to launch, and create analytical tools that make complex measurement frameworks accessible to stakeholders. You'll have significant ownership over projects-from metric development and validation to dashboard design and stakeholder presentations-and will proactively identify opportunities to improve how Netflix measures content success.
