## About the role

Agents are becoming a primary way software gets built and work gets done at Netflix — and the AI Platform is building the foundation they run on. The Agent Platform team owns the agent-specific layer that every agent at Netflix depends on: the runtime and execution environment, memory, identity and permissioning, discovery and registry, evaluation, and the tool/MCP interfaces agents use to act. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Experience leading and growing engineering teams that build and operate platform or infrastructure at scale — managing senior individual contributors and/or managers, with a track record of developing strong engineers
- Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating agentic systems in production — agent runtimes and harnesses, tool use, memory, and evaluation — with genuine technical depth, not oversight from a distance
- Breadth across business applications: you've built or led agents spanning a range of use cases, enterprise and internal applications (developer tooling, operations, knowledge work) or consumer-facing applications at scale
- A strong engineering foundation in distributed systems, cloud, and ML/AI infrastructure — deep enough to lead a senior team's hardest architectural decisions and earn its trust
- A track record of owning a platform's charter — setting its direction and holding its scope against pressure to do everything — and making build-versus-partner decisions on a multi-year cost horizon
- Cross-organizational credibility: a record of building shared accountability with senior leaders across adjacent platform, infrastructure, and security teams, and navigating ambiguous ownership boundaries
