Job Description

The Opportunity:

We are looking for a strong technical lead for the new Search & Recommendations innovation initiative, which is a strategic bet for our business. You will play a highly cross-functional role, partnering with other engineers, product management, machine learning, and data teams to take Netflix’s ML/AI initiatives in the Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) domain to the next level.

If you have a passion for building scalable, robust systems, are interested in pushing the envelope in applying LLMs to advance the state-of-the-art Search & Recommendation experience, and operate in a critical part of the stack that strongly influences what our customers see on their screens, then we want to talk to you.

What we are looking for:

• You have proven expertise in building and operating high-traffic distributed systems for search and/or discovery experiences.
• You are self-driven and highly motivated to deliver top-tier solutions while navigating highly ambiguous environments and can execute 0-1 projects.
• You are excited to work in a multidisciplinary environment (engineering, algorithms, data engineering/science, product experimentation) and have experience leading projects with 3-4 other engineers.
• You are comfortable working in a hybrid team with partners distributed across (US) geographies & time zones.
• You are willing to take broad ownership of team responsibilities (building roadmaps, scoping, and task breakdown).
• You are a proactive, effective communicator and have a strong bias towards action.
• You are experienced working with the public cloud like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
