Job description

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

Netflix builds and operates the foundational platform that the company runs on—including compute, storage, networking, and performance infrastructure, at global scale. The Cloud Infrastructure Engineering (CIE) builds and operates the foundational platform that Netflix runs on. We are building the Cloud Infrastructure Tooling team in Warsaw to provide internal tooling, developer‑facing UI, and shared services that reduce duplication and increase velocity for product and infrastructure teams.

What You Will Do

Design, build, and operate software solutions and tooling that serve CIE’s compute, storage, networking, and performance engineering teams. Solve real business needs at large scale by applying software engineering and analytical problem‑solving skills. Build software solutions and tools to improve developer experience and product experience in collaboration with team members and stakeholders. Architect and build a robust, scalable, and highly available distributed infrastructure. Drive alignment with stakeholders and set partner expectations. Lead cross‑functional initiatives and collaborate with engineers, product managers, and TPMs across teams. Share experiences with open‑source communities and contribute to Netflix OSS.

What We Are Looking For

• 7 or more years of experience designing and building complex, scalable distributed data infrastructure
• Proficiency in at least one of: Java, Go, or C++, with strong software engineering foundation that enables writing clean, maintainable, high-performance code
• Practical understanding of at least one infrastructure domain—compute, distributed storage, or cloud networking or performance
• Experience owning and delivering high-impact systems end-to-end, with accountability in dynamic and sometimes ambiguous environments
• Experience building and operating scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed systems

What Sets You Apart

• Motivation to work on infrastructure that other engineers depend on, focusing on building reliable and resilient systems
• Product mindset for internal tooling: thinking about developer experience, adoption, and real-world impact on the teams served
• Comfort with ambiguity and experience shaping problem definitions as well as solutions
• Experience contributing to or engaging with open-source infrastructure communities
• Approach technical challenges from first principles and avoid defaulting to familiar patterns when a better solution exists
