About The Position

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 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. The Membership Engineering team builds and operates the core commerce and monetization platform that manages the entire subscriber lifecycle. We own the product catalog system that defines every Netflix plan, offer, and promotion as a sellable SKU. Our microservices are directly involved in various member-flows like signup, plan change, upsells, offers, cancellations, renewals etc. We enable integrations for managing subscriptions via partner bundles and Apple iTunes/App Store while also enabling gift card redemptions. We also maintain rules to control plan availability, prices and play a central role in implementing price changes across the globe. The subscription data together with the plan and pricing catalog help other teams to power their commerce needs. You could learn more about how we manage subscriptions at Netflix.
