Netflix•Los Gatos, CA

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. We launched a new ad-supported tier in November 2022 to offer our members more choice in how they consume their content. Our new tier allows us to attract new members at a lower price point while also creating a compelling path for advertisers to reach deeply engaged audiences. Our Team The Ads Platform Engineering creates the ecosystem that spans across the “Pitch to Pay” process. It goes all the way from enabling our sales teams (and other DSPs, resellers) to engage advertisers to run their campaigns on Netflix, and cuts across inventory and order management, campaign execution, ad serving, audience onboarding, targeting and delivery, measurement, reporting and finance. Our team is new, yet we have enormous ambitions of building highly performant advertising systems and delivering high impact to our business by monetizing our incredible slate of content. As one of the newest entrants in the rapidly growing Connected TV advertising space, we seek to build unique value propositions that help us differentiate from the competition and become a market leader in record time. The Ads Reporting Infrastructure team builds and operates the foundational systems that collect, enrich, and deliver ads-related events at scale. These systems ensure that raw signals from client devices, servers, and third-party integrations are transformed into clean, reliable, and privacy-safe data streams powering measurement, serving, reporting, and financial workflows. We are looking for highly motivated engineers working in the advertising space who are excited to join us on this journey.
