TL;DR

As an experienced Software Engineering Leader in Netflix’s Cloud Infrastructure organization, you will lead a team of software developers responsible for delivering secure and performant connectivity solutions through policy-driven cloud governance and observability software. Your day-to-day responsibilities include building and scaling the Tier 0 network governance layer that dictates how every Netflix workload connects, from placement to security enforcement, while also mentoring engineers and fostering cross-functional partnerships to ensure alignment with various engineering teams. You will drive the transition to opinionated, policy-driven defaults for network configuration, making secure paths easier for thousands of microservices without requiring networking expertise. Key technologies include AWS, eBPF-based flow capture, and IPv6, with a focus on Layer3/Layer4 networking and security. This role demands strong software development skills, experience in complex distributed systems at scale, and the ability to navigate organizational complexity while delivering impactful solutions that enable Netflix’s continued hyper-growth and innovation in cloud networking.
