About The Position

The Streaming & Discovery Foundations organization is at the heart of creating the Netflix experience, responsible for building foundational client and data frameworks that are leveraged across multiple UI platforms (TV, Android, iOS, Web) and domains (Streaming, Live, Games, Ads, etc). We are looking for a dedicated Technical Program Manager to drive large-scale programs spanning the full data lifecycle across multiple teams, surfaces, and business domains. This TPM will be a force multiplier across data and client teams, owning planning, execution, and cross-org alignment for high-impact initiatives that shape how we work with the data that is critical to the core of all we do at Netflix.

Requirements

8-10+ years of excellence in technical program leadership, driving multi-team programs across multiple engineering domains in large, complex organizations, with significant experience on programs involving large-scale, high-volume data systems.
Able to engage on technical trade-offs without writing code, and communicate naturally across audiences, from ICs to senior leadership.
Experience with data engineering and data pipelines; familiarity with client UI engineering and data platform developer experience.
Equally comfortable setting strategic direction and getting into the weeds; clear-eyed about which the moment calls for, and skilled at driving accountability through clarity and relationships rather than process or reporting structure.
Takes full ownership of outcomes and relentlessly drives execution, even when faced with ambiguity or cross-functional friction.
Ability to leverage GenAI tools to accelerate your own work, and a genuine curiosity about how these tools are reshaping the way technical programs run.

Responsibilities

Drive large-scale, cross-functional data programs end-to-end: define milestones, scope, and sequencing; keep us honest on commitments, and adjust quickly as we learn
Navigate deep technical and organizational complexity in our data ecosystem, ensuring the right people are in the room and decisions are pragmatic, not perfect.
Bring clarity to ambiguity: create lightweight structure, clear communication, and simple mechanisms without over-engineering process or slowing teams down.
Help us transform our data platforms and practices while keeping the business running, balancing reliability, migration, and innovation so we can “change the engine in flight” safely.
Collaborate, build alignment, and develop strong relationships with partners across multiple business verticals.
