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.

AV Events sits within our Netflix Technology Services organization (N‑Tech). N‑Tech shares the mission of optimizing the productivity of Netflix employees by supporting their technology needs. The AV Events team’s goal is to create memorable experiences that inform, inspire and excite employees and audiences (both internal and external). As we grow, so does the number of high‑profile events we host, and the event spaces we support in office(s), so we’re looking for an experienced AV Events Engineer with technical production management experience to join our AV Events team based in Los Angeles.

Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end technical production on our most complex, highest‑profile events
• Manage AV vendors/contractors and coordinate crewing, production schedules, cue‑to‑cue sheets and more
• Technical setup, configuration, and support for internal & external event productions
• Conduct equipment maintenance, perform diagnostics, troubleshooting, and maintain all technical equipment in the event space(s)
• Learn and implement new technologies, assuring successful outcomes
• Design, monitor, analyze, and solve issues regarding video, cameras, digital switchers, digital routers, digital video servers, LED systems, automation, and routing
• Assist with AV research and develop project initiatives in partnership with other team members
• Assist with keeping technical documentation up to date
• Ensure proper communication is maintained with internal and external partner groups
• Create and manage engineering documentation
• Step into an operator position as needed (particularly calling a show)
• Responsible for stakeholder management and pre‑production needs for events
• Crewing (AV resources) for events with FTE, contractor or vendor resources
• Ownership of Netflix’s onsite event production spaces’ technology support
• Oversight of AV budget as pertaining to event costs

What We’re Looking For

• Sustained experience leading technical production on large‑scale, high‑stakes events on various timelines
• A natural cross‑functional collaborator who works well with demanding stakeholders - Corporate Events, Internal Comms, Workplace, and E‑staff
• Proven ability to manage multiple programmes in parallel without dropping the ball on quality or stakeholder relationships
• A track record of building systems or workflows that created measurable savings in cost, time, or resource at scale
• Sufficient broadcast knowledge to lead decisions and sense‑check execution
• Genuine curiosity about AI in live events and during pre and post production, with some hands‑on experience to back it up
• Experience managing vendors, integrators, and technical crews across the full lifecycle of complex programmes
• Composure and professionalism under pressure
• Familiarity with Bitfocus Companion, Vectorworks, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar tools
• Comfort across Mac OS, Windows, Chromebooks, and Google Workspace
• Ability to deliver post‑production VOD outputs
