More than 100 million members in over 190 countries already discover and watch over 50 billion hours of TV shows and movies on Netflix. But there's a lot more to do. Our continuing mission is to bring great stories to everyone, no matter where they are or what devices they use.
Our rigorous innovation model focuses on exploring and defining great ideas then validating them against metrics. This analytical approach is at the intersection of creativity and analytics and requires talented engineers who are experts in their domain, who are curious, and who contribute broadly.
We have a that helps you do our best work.
Our stack is unique
- We have a single app that scales across a broad spectrum of devices, taking advantage of the latest game consoles and high-end smart TVs, but also running performantly on low compute TV devices
- Our app comprises a purpose-built SDK written in C++ and a
and implemented in JavaScript * The graphics architecture is designed to yield fast and smooth animations across devices
- We evolve the stack so we can experiment with ideas that have never been tried before
App performance is key
- Performance is a top priority for us
- The app should start blazingly fast so it is better than a TV channel switch
- We engineer for consistently high frame rate so there's no jank in animations
- The UI should respond to user interaction within 100ms so it feels responsive
- We squeeze more out of limited memory so we can reach more devices
- We improve networking so anyone in the world can watch Netflix on their TV even if they're on a low quality connection
- We use
and the UI should remain responsive and smooth as video plays
