Engineering Manager, Cloud Networking

Netflix

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 Opportunity: The Cloud Infrastructure Organization’s mission is to increase the fleet-wide agility, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of our Platform. We are responsible for one of the largest Cloud Network footprints built on AWS and constantly pushing boundaries with bleeding-edge technology through co-innovation, such as driving IPv6 at hyperscale. We are seeking an experienced engineering leader to lead and grow a team of senior engineers within the Cloud Networking group of the Network Platform organization. The team is responsible for designing the cloud network architecture/topology, building network capabilities that provide leverage across various Netflix use cases, including streaming and gaming. The team provides Layer 2 - Layer 7 networking solutions to ensure a consistent ability to scale the network, secure traffic management throughout the Netflix ecosystem, by abstracting out the AWS primitives and the complexities of resiliency, security, routing, and insights. You will be leading a stunning set of engineers who tackle some of the largest cloud networking challenges in the industry. The team re-architects the approach to managing and exposing modern cloud connectivity/traffic features, building on top of Netflix’s own federated resource management platform. You will own some of our key bets, ship overarching abstractions, and create APIs enabling Netflix developers to completely change the way they interact with the products and infrastructure delivered by the broader cloud infrastructure organization. This team has reliably enabled Netflix’s hyper-cloud growth by co-innovating with AWS, driving technologies such as IPv6, Hybrid infrastructure, and delivering eBPF-based products to create novel solutions to classic problems, like NAT64. If you’re looking for a deeply technical and highly dynamic opportunity that will have an outsized impact on the future of how Netflix scales into the future, we’d love to talk to you!
