At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

The Analysis team in Experimentation Platform builds and operates the core systems that power A/B test analysis across Netflix. Our tools enable confidence in business decisions that affect our members.

We are looking for a Senior Distributed Systems Engineer to design, build, and operate the next generation of analysis tooling at Netflix.

What You’ll Do

• Build and evolve critical experiment analysis tooling

Build, maintain, and improve real-time and batch analysis workflows for experiment analysis, regression detection, and more

• Own reliability and performance

Participate in on-call, lead incident response, and drive long-term reliability improvements

• Instrument services with rich observability (metrics, logs, traces) and continuously tune for resilience, performance, and scalability

• Shape data and integration surfaces

Collaborate with teams using technologies like Flink, Spark, Elasticsearch, and Druid to ensure experimentation data is correct, timely, and usable

• Define clear data and API contracts for consumers and pipelines

• Partner with product engineering teams

Deeply understand experimentation workflows across Netflix

• Simplify and improve the experience for monitoring and deciding experiments

What Sets You Apart

• Strong understanding of experimentation lifecycle and risks
  You’ve done it before: run or facilitated experiments with large business implications, understanding the risks and rewards of experimentation at scale. A background in data science/statistics is a big plus.

• Backend & distributed systems depth
  You’ve built and operated reliable and observable backend workflows and understand how to apply core algorithms, and systems design to real-world distributed systems.

• Strong coding & operational rigor
  You write high-quality code and systems, and have owned production services end-to-end: monitoring, on-call, debugging, and systematic performance and reliability improvements.

• High-impact collaboration & product sense
  You work effectively with other engineers and cross-functional partners, bring clarity to ambiguity, drive decisions, and keep a sharp focus on delivering value to internal users and stakeholders.

Why This Role Is Unique

• Central to how Netflix learns: Your work underpins how nearly every product team experiments and rolls out features.

• High leverage & visibility: You will build foundational services used by engineers, data scientists, and product partners across the company.

• Challenging engineering problems: Our analysis workflows process billions of events per day - and the speed of processing these events directly affects business outcomes.

• Real ownership: You will influence architecture and roadmap while working with a senior and highly engaged team.
