You will have a strong customer focus and consistently engage with our ML community to source feedback, identify pain points, and opportunities to evolve Metaflow and the Machine Learning Platform in general. You will also partner with the OSS Metaflow development community to ensure a mutually beneficial roadmap and relationship.

To be successful in this role, you must have a strong software engineering background, a keen sense of software design, have proven experience with distributed applications, be a good communicator, and work well in large cross-functional teams.

What we are looking for:

• 4+ years of software engineering experience with a successful track record of delivering quality results
• Strong software design and development skills, with some prior Python experience
• Experience with parallel and distributed computing
• Experience working with or building software for ML researchers and Data Scientists
• BS in Computer Science or related field or equivalent experience

Preferred, but not required additional areas of experience:

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

At Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of market.
