The Role

Software Engineer L5 — Machine Learning Build, Productivity, and Reliability Tooling

Our team builds developer productivity tools to enable Netflix’s machine learning teams. We’re looking for a passionate and talented engineer to join our team of engineers, SREs, and ML researchers. 

As part of the team, you will design, build, and maintain tools that are used by our machine learning researchers daily. You will be part of a larger research organization that is responsible for Netflix’s core applied machine learning, which powers our recommendations, personalization, and search algorithms (and many other areas). You will work closely alongside our ML researchers to identify frictions, and to design and build solutions to them.

To be successful in this role, you must have a strong software engineering background, a keen sense of software design, and experience operating large CI/CD systems.

If you are ready to make a difference at a company that matters, and if you want to work with machine learning, and developer tools, in a company that strongly believes in both, then we would love to talk to you.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of software engineering experience with a successful track record of delivering quality results

• Strong software design and development skills (Scala, Java, C#, or C++).

• Experience with large-scale data frameworks such as Spark, Hadoop, etc.

• Experience with parallel and distributed computing

• BS in Computer Science or related field

Preferred, but not required:

• Experience operating and customizing Bazel, or similar distributed build systems (such as Buck, Pants, etc).

• Significant contributions to open source projects

• Experience with machine learning frameworks, such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc
