Software Engineer (L5) - Ads Revenue Infrastructure

At Netflix, we want to entertain the world and are constantly innovating how entertainment is imagined, created, and delivered to a global audience. We currently stream content in more than 30 languages in 190 countries, topping over 238 million paid subscribers, and are expanding into new forms of entertainment such as gaming. Engineering teams within Netflix work hard every day to scale and innovate this content production and member experience in an ever-growing complex software landscape.

The Revenue Infrastructure team’s mission is to streamline revenue financial workflows so that our financial teams can close the books with a high degree of accuracy and confidence. The systems we build need to be scalable and accurate as we handle revenue operations for all Netflix customers. Some of the projects we are focused on are building infrastructure for revenue ads integration, settlement, and cash reconciliation of all Netflix subscription payments, generating invoices for our bundle partners, and revenue partner workflows.

As an engineer on the team, you will work with Product Managers, cross-functional engineering teams, and Revenue Finance to design and evolve architectures that can handle massive data and build highly configurable pipelines to support global workflows for complex financial functions.
