Company info

Every Netflix membership, from the moment someone signs up to every plan change, renewal, and cancellation flows through our platform.
As a foundational part of the Membership & Monetization Platform (MMP), the Pricing, Catalog and Offers (PCO) team architects and operates the Tier-0 services that serve as Netflix's commercial source of truth.
We manage the global product and pricing catalog, run the promotional targeting infrastructure and operate the backend supporting member subscription transactions for ~330 million members across 190+ countries, with our high-fanout services handling over 5 million requests per second.
We build platforms that enable teams to move quickly on new commerce experiences while maintaining the technical rigor required for systems where correctness at scale is paramount and failures can directly affect global revenue.
What You Will Work On
You'll work across the full spectrum, from product-facing features that directly impact acquisition and retention, to the platform infrastructure that makes them possible at Netflix scale.
You'll partner with product managers, designers, and data scientists to build commerce experiences that drive growth.
On the platform side, you'll tackle distributed systems challenges: race conditions, consistency guarantees and throughput optimization.
You'll also be part of the on-call rotation for these Tier 0 services, owning production reliability end-to-end.
We're Eager to Talk to You If:
You thrive in ambiguity, possessing a platform mindset that allows you to easily translate vague business directives into clear, scalable, and maintainable technical solutions.
You exhibit extreme ownership of your domain and have successfully led complex engineering projects from inception to delivery, proactively improving critical systems along the way.
You excel in cross-functional environments and communicate complex technical trade-offs clearly to non-engineering partners.
Some nice to haves:
Comfortable with production on-call responsibilities and incident response for Tier 0 services.

We'd love to hear from you.
