Software Engineer (L5) Node.js Platform
Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with 278 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 Role We are the Node.js Platform team, and we are champions for UI (front-end) teams at Netflix. Our mission is to empower them to easily create applications, services, and libraries. We help them focus on innovation by reducing the complexity of building and operating software. We shepherd and evolve the Node.js vision at Netflix. Developer experience runs in our DNA and influences every facet of our work. Our team provides a Node.js Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that enables engineers to easily develop and deploy code that meets Netflix's availability, observability, and reliability needs. We also provide an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) platform that allows engineers to easily and quickly configure domains, routes, and deploy UI code to production. These two mission-critical offerings work together to power Netflix.com, the API services consumed by Netflix devices, and an ecosystem of web applications that support our content production. Both are complete end-to-end offerings that take teams from zero to production. We are one of two teams that comprise the larger JavaScript Platform team. For the next 2-3 years, we will be partnering closely with our sibling team to deliver the "UI Paved Road" aka the golden path, for the UI Engineer persona at Netflix. We aim to provide a comprehensive set of tools and technologies that will be used by hundreds of engineers, and deliver developer happiness throughout the software development experience. We define our success by our ability to accelerate productivity across Netflix engineering. The team anchors on the human-facing elements of technology. These elements are emphasized in our Culture Memo and are applied in our day-to-day work. Code is a very small slice of this team's impact.
