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.

As Netflix broadens its entertainment offering beyond TV shows and movies to include e.g. Games, Live and Video Podcasts, it is more important than ever to evolve our backend systems and tooling to scale with the challenge.

Critically, these capabilities interact and depend on our personalization system, which is part of this evolution.
