Our Data Platform enables Netflix to scale effectively and evolve rapidly by providing highly performant, secure, compliant, and flexible data infrastructure that supports the expanding needs of the business. Ultimately, we aim to democratize data by making it more accessible and useful to technical and non-technical employees.

The Opportunity

The mission of the Data Platform’s GenAI Tools team is to boost the productivity of the data science and engineering community at Netflix. This means enabling users to spend more time solving business problems and less time engineering lower-level systems. We are seeking a senior software engineer to help build a developer platform that will provide the building blocks for Netflix to efficiently create GenAI applications. The platform will enable our teams to leverage LLM models and internally fine-tuned models. It will provide tools to support the LLM development lifecycle, high-level abstraction APIs for RAG, and tools for prompt engineering, management, and LLM operations.
