Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 54 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 85%

Of 40 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 6 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 496 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Files H-1B transfers

160 transfer filings in the last year, covering 388 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role

  • Behind every title a member streams is a complex content supply chain.
  • We focus on the front door to that supply chain.
  • This is one of the first Solutions Engineer roles for our team.

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate prospective partners for technical fit, lead early deep dives, and establish clear integration roadmaps prior to onboarding.
  • Guide partners through onboarding and content delivery, untangling schema mismatches or hierarchy errors, crafting lightweight custom solutions when standard tools fall short, and shipping targeted improvements to unblock launches.
  • Develop targeted scripting, internal tools, and operational documentation to streamline remediation and enhance platform observability.
  • Act as the primary technical escalation point post-launch, tuning observability infrastructure and supporting partner-specific tools.
  • Identify recurring friction points and ship small, high-leverage improvements that reduce manual steps and issues per launch, using light scripting and automation to resolve issues at scale and build custom solutions that reduce the need for bespoke engineering work.
  • Bring well-evidenced defects and roadmap needs to core engineering with a clear ask, and represent partners' technical needs in product and engineering discussions, so new deals don't become bespoke one-offs.
  • Hands-on experience integrating or supporting external partners on REST APIs. You're fluent with curl, Postman, or similar, and comfortable debugging JSON payloads and request/response flows.
  • Comfort doing manual, human-in-the-loop work to unblock a partner. You recognize when a workaround is needed and tell engineers what to automate.
  • Practical experience using AI tools to speed up troubleshooting, documentation, and support, with real examples of results.
  • The systems you support are foundational to how content reaches members around the world.

Requirements

  • Working proficiency in Python or Java, and SQL.
  • You can write scripts and queries, and read and debug an existing codebase well enough to make small, integration-specific changes.
  • You can reason through a workflow end-to-end, use logs, dashboards, and traces to isolate a fault, and escalate with evidence and a concrete next step.

Nice to have

  • Experience with workflow or pipeline systems, or with media or metadata ingestion, is a plus.
  • Experience in media, entertainment, or streaming is a plus.

Compensation

  • Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses.

Benefits

  • You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options.
  • We also offer paid leave of absence programs.
  • Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off.
  • Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off.

Company info

  • At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world.
  • Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality.
  • We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology.
  • Come be a part of what's next.
  • You will join Content Promotion and Distribution, the team responsible for driving global content ingestion across Netflix.
  • Our platform authenticates incoming submissions, orchestrates metadata, video, artwork, and availability across downstream services, and ensures partner deliverables are validated and conformed for seamless streaming to our members.
  • Content partners deliver metadata, artwork, and media to Netflix through it, and it validates and processes that content on its way to launch.
  • As Netflix expands into new content types and deal structures, we make delivering to Netflix the easiest part of a partner's day.
  • Solutions Engineers accelerate partner integrations, help partners launch with confidence, and keep them running smoothly at scale.
  • You'll sit between Engineering and the partner-facing Operations and Support teams.
  • You'll work hands-on with partners, and you'll fix the friction you find so the next partner doesn't hit it.

Equal opportunity

  • If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.
  • We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully.
