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 Title and Launch Management (TLM) team is responsible for building and innovating the technology foundations that enable the ingest, setup, launch, and global distribution of all types of entertainment on Netflix—including series, movies, games, ads, live events, trailers, and more. TLM acts as the bridge between the title creation lifecycle and the consumer experience, ensuring that launching titles on Netflix is efficient, flexible, accurate, and scalable. Our team’s goal is to make launching titles as seamless as possible, supporting both operational and creative needs across the company.
To support Netflix’s growing content offerings and partnerships, we are forming a new team within TLM to automate large-scale content ingestion, replacing existing manual processes. We are developing a flexible, federated system that enables efficient, scalable, and self-service content ingestion as Netflix grows. As a result, this team will collaborate closely with many partners and stakeholders, including external content partners, to orchestrate ingestion, validation, and conformance of assets and metadata across many domains.

Serve as Netflix’s representative in discussions with external content partners’ engineering teams, refining API and SLA contracts while demonstrating strong judgment to balance partner needs with Netflix’s interests and risk management.
