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 Web & TV Player team is responsible for all playback functionality on both the Web and TV Platforms. Whether streaming on netflix.com or on an NRDP-enabled TV Device (SmartTV, STB, or streaming sticks), we develop playback functionality for all modes of streaming SVOD, Ads, Live, and Cloud Games. The team manages all aspects of the client playback, from the state machine, license, and metadata management to delivery of streaming media to the sink device, ensuring top quality and best-in-class streaming QoE. The Web & TV Player team sits at the nexus of a diverse set of innovative activities around product feature expansion (recent playback features include Live Streaming, Dynamic Ads Insertion, and Ident innovation), A/B experimentation of new encodes (ex: AV1) to increase adoption, support for new security features, content discovery and playback control on companion devices, as well as continuous integration and release management of our video player. We partner with various cross-functional teams across Netflix, including UI, Encoding, Streaming Algorithms, Security, and Open Connect for product development and experimentation. Our team comprises engineers from diverse backgrounds with various expertise across different disciplines (Embedded systems, Streaming Media Playback, Content Protection, Web Technologies, Client Server Communication, Networking protocols, Continuous Integration, Test Automation, Experimentation, and Software engineering). Our success comes from self-motivated, selfless, curious, and highly collaborative engineers in the team. We are innovating fast and it is an exciting time to join the team to bring new playback features to delight our members.
