About Security Platforms Engineering (SPE)

The Security Platforms Engineering (SPE) team builds and operates foundational and scalable security services for Netflix, including asset inventory, vulnerability management, risk insights, and a unified security experience. Our goal is to ensure strong foundations and resiliency to security threats, helping Netflix be a place where security controls scale automatically, critical risks are systematically reduced, and our workforce is empowered to make confident, risk-informed decisions.

We are expanding our team in Poland to build and support our Vulnerability Management (VM) program, which includes vulnerability visibility, triage, and remediation for assets across Netflix's ecosystem.

This role is remote for candidates located in Poland.

We are hiring four Security Software Engineers across two complementary profiles (A & B) to support foundational security services in vulnerability management and visibility. We encourage you to apply if your background aligns with either profile.

Profile A: Security Emphasis

• Experience in security and vulnerability management operations, including proficiency in vulnerability discovery, triage, and remediation
• Experience evaluating and selecting appropriate vulnerability management tools, both developed in-house and externally sourced
• Ability to take a pragmatic approach to security risk, weighing tradeoffs between velocity and friction
• Experience with automation and software development, particularly in Python (experience with PySpark is a plus)
• Approach operations as an engineering challenge, seeking to automate and optimize processes
• Familiarity with data engineering and data analytics concepts, with interest in transforming data into insights and addressing complex questions

What You'll Do:

• Design, build, and operate scalable security and vulnerability management systems
• Integrate scanning technologies into existing platforms and workflows
• Drive technical architecture and development to meet product and stakeholder needs
• Collaborate with teams within SPE to deliver a unified view of assets, vulnerabilities, and security posture
• Partner with cross‑functional teams across Security, Engineering, and Product
• Ensure engineering excellence, service reliability, and continuous improvement
• Use data to inform decisions and communicate insights to stakeholders
• Take ownership of open‑ended problems, seeing them through from concept to production

Profile B: Software Emphasis

• Background in software engineering, ideally with experience in large‑scale, reliable systems
• Experience in software development and Python (experience with PySpark is a plus)
• Strong system design and data architecture skills
• Demonstrated experience delivering thoughtful end‑to‑end software solutions
• Interest in developing expertise in security engineering and vulnerability management
• Familiarity with data engineering and data analytics concepts, with interest in transforming data into insights and addressing complex questions

What You'll Do:

• Design, build, and operate scalable security and vulnerability management systems
• Integrate scanning technologies into existing platforms and workflows
• Drive technical architecture and development to meet product and stakeholder needs

We believe in a collaborative model of security, where the best outcomes are achieved through a shared understanding of security risk. This is a highly cross‑functional role. You will work with teams and stakeholders within Security and across Netflix, including engineers, product managers, security experts, internal customers, and more.

We are committed to building a team that supports our mission and culture.

You will succeed at Netflix if you:

• Believe that a diverse and inclusive team is essential for a sustainable and effective work environment
• Take a pragmatic approach—balancing nuances and tradeoffs in security risk or software design
• Are customer‑focused and empathetic, with attention to both user experience and security impact
• Communicate complex subjects effectively to internal customers and partners
• Enjoy taking full ownership of open‑ended problems, from concept to production, including effective management of your time
