Creative Compute and Storage (cCAS)

The cCAS team is building the next generation of media management platforms to support Netflix’s expanding live and sports content. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build our Live Media Asset Management (MAM) platform, which will underpin our ingest, management, and reuse of live media at scale.

In this role, you will design and build core backend and platform services that integrate a third‑party MAM with Netflix’s hybrid on‑prem/AWS infrastructure, cCAS storage and compute, and upstream/downstream content workflows.

What you will do

• Design and build backend services that power the Live MAM platform (e.g., ingest orchestration, media/metadata normalization, rights‑aware APIs, timecode‑based services).

• Integrate a third‑party MAM with Netflix’s hybrid infrastructure, ensuring a coherent media and metadata flow across systems.

• Implement robust data models and APIs for live media assets, metadata, rights and restrictions, and time‑aligned events.

• Collaborate with partner teams (engineering, production, operations, vendors) to deliver end‑to‑end workflows for live and near‑live content.

• Work with AI/ML teams and services to incorporate automated tagging and indexing into the MAM ecosystem.

• Own services in production, including observability, reliability, and on‑call, for systems that support time‑critical live workflows.

About you

• 5+ years of experience building and operating backend/platform services in production.

• Strong foundation in distributed systems and event‑driven architectures.

• Experience in at least one of:

Media platforms, MAM/DAM systems, or video workflows (live or VOD), or

• Complex integrations between 3rd‑party platforms and in‑house infrastructure.

• Comfortable working in a hybrid cloud + on‑prem environment; able to reason about large‑scale storage, transcoding, and messaging systems.

• Platform mindset: you design reusable services and clear APIs for multiple internal customers.

• Care deeply about reliability and observability, especially for time‑sensitive workflows.

• Strong collaborator who can work effectively with engineering, product, and operations partners.

• Self‑directed, pragmatic, and comfortable operating with freedom and responsibility.

Bonus / Nice to Have

• Experience with live sports media workflows or Live Sports MAM (e.g., multi-feed ingest, melts/highlights, sports-specific metadata and stats integration).

• Prior work integrating vendor MAM systems into in‑house media infrastructure at scale.
