Job summary

Netflix's Ads Policy Infrastructure team is seeking a Software Engineer to build and own policy-defining systems across Netflix's ads ecosystem. You will own components end to end—from the policy service and APIs to parts of the Ad Connect authoring experience—with support from senior engineers as you grow into full-stack ownership.

This hands-on role turns ambiguous policy needs into working software. You will contribute to design discussions, ship production code, and learn the domain

Qualifications

• Production software engineering experience building services or user-facing applications.
• Experience with JVM, React, or TypeScript in a product environment.
• Strong API design and data modeling fundamentals, including versioning and backward compatibility.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity in a new product with evolving requirements.
• Operational mindset: testing, monitoring, tracing, and ownership of services.
• Excellent collaboration and communication with engineering, product, and operations partners.
• End-to-end ownership from design through deployment and ongoing improvement.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate services and APIs (JVM services, GraphQL, gRPC) that compile authored policy into execution objects and serve policy decisions to consumer systems.
• Build parts of the Ad Connect Policy module (React and TypeScript) to create, inspect, and safely modify rules, exceptions, and overrides.
• Contribute to migrating line-item and Live Manifest policy rules with shadow evaluation, parity reporting, and rollback criteria to keep enforcement correct at every step.
• Improve observability and operability: reason codes, decision traces, blocked-demand metrics, tests, dashboards, and alerts; participate in on-call for owned services.
