Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

At Netflix, we recognize the pivotal role that assets such as artwork, trailers, synopses, and metadata play in enriching our member experience and empowering our members to discover content they'll love. These assets provide essential context for our recommendations, guiding viewing decisions and enhancing the overall experience. To elevate this further, we personalize these assets, ensuring that each member is presented with the most relevant artwork, trailers, and more, tailored to their unique tastes.

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Asset Personalization Experience team. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of delivering truly tailored entertainment experiences to millions of Netflix members globally. As a crucial leader within our backend product engineering group, you will drive the architecture and development of innovative, customized solutions that power the personalized images, text, and other assets in the product experience. This team plays a crucial role in showcasing our vast content library across various product initiatives, such as Live, Games, and Ads on all device platforms globally.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with product managers, designers and other engineering teams, utilizing rapid prototyping and A/B testing methodologies to define and build the future of content discovery and engagement on Netflix. You will have the chance to pioneer the development of new asset types and adapt existing ones to meet the evolving demands of unique presentation styles, business logic, and merchandising strategies within our dynamic environment. You will be responsible for overseeing some of Netflix’s highest throughput, lowest latency services—critical systems that deliver these assets at global scale. We are seeking a technically adept leader who thrives in a collaborative, inclusive environment and is passionate about mentoring a diverse group of engineers, ranging from industry veterans to newcomers. Most importantly, you will exemplify Netflix’s core values by fostering a culture of creativity, curiosity, and excellence.

What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of experience leading consumer facing backend distributed systems teams.
• Experience building consumer products using A/B testing.
• Strong technical acumen and the ability to serve as a technical advisor and mentor to the team.
• Proven experience in building and operating distributed systems with a direct and measurable impact on the customer experience.
• A genuine passion for improving consumer experiences through strong, collaborative partnerships with product leaders, with the ability to influence product direction and roadmaps.
• A demonstrated track record of successfully hiring diverse and highly talented engineers and fostering the growth of successful, high-impact teams.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey context to the team, stakeholders, partners, and leadership. You will be adept at driving the team’s roadmap by connecting their work to business needs, managing expectations effectively, and navigating competing priorities.
• A leadership style that emphasizes providing and receiving feedback, encouraging new ideas, and empowering team members through trust and autonomy, rather than micromanagement.
