## About the role

Netflix operates one of the largest cloud infrastructure footprints in the world, and an increasing footprint of GenAI tools and agents. Platform Data Science & Engineering (Platform DSE) is an internal-facing team that helps Netflix's Technology org understand and optimize its cloud and AI infrastructure. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You've designed, built, and shipped full stack applications
- Experience contributing to internal systems and tools you don't own, including autonomously onboarding to new application stacks, strong design and architecture judgment, and proactive collaboration and communication
- Strong TypeScript and React, plus enough backend (Node.js, GraphQL, or similar) to own a data feature end to end
- Enough data fluency (SQL, and comfort reasoning about a data model) that a data-heavy product isn't a cold start. You don't need to be a data engineer, but you do need to be at home in messy, changing data
- A track record of owning work on your own. You'd be our first software engineer, so you'll set direction and see it through without a big engineering org behind you
