Do you enjoy developing and running software in the cloud? Are you particularly good at working on systems that are designed for reliability and scalability? The Platform Security Team designs, creates, deploys, operates, and maintains some of the most critical services at Netflix. You may have heard of our work at Usenix Enigma (2016, 2017) or QCon (2017). Our projects include cryptographic key management, protecting secrets in code, enabling authentication and authorization between services, and distributed denial of service protection. Our team is highly technical with strong backgrounds in both security and distributed systems engineering.

As Netflix has expanded its global presence, the challenges and excitement are profound, especially from the security side. We want to stay ahead of the curve, so we’re looking for a software engineer to help us create these scalable and resilient cloud services.

As a member of the team, you will be working on software components that are critical to the stability of Netflix. This spans from foundational services that are needed to bootstrap the Netflix cloud, to edge services that mitigate distributed denial of service attacks. While security expertise is not required for this role, we do value a strong interest in security.
