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 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.

The Launch Readiness team is responsible for monitoring delivery status, identifying and escalating risks, and recommending and implementing remediations using a combination of deterministic business rules and agentic solutions in partnership with data science and other engineering teams. Operating within a federated system, the team works alongside Netflix launch operations and domain teams to develop tools and workflows that integrate with validation and conformance systems for metadata, media and assets such as artwork, synopses, and trailers. As Netflix onboards more content types and a variety of content partners, this team will experiment and iterate to design, deploy, and integrate AI-powered solutions to address a wide range of launch needs.
