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.

Leveraging both regional and global teams and vendors, you will provide hands-on AV technical expertise for live events, and multi-camera broadcast productions. This position requires travel (within the United States, Canada, and Mexico) and flexible hours as support may take place after normal business hours or on the weekend.
