Netflix is a global streaming entertainment company and content producer whose stated mission is "to entertain the world.

The provided text highlights Netflix’s focus on recruiting talent worldwide, its work-life and culture pages, and its public-facing employer materials.

📋 Description

• Design, build, and operate the Agent SDK and MCP Gateway that Netflix engineers use to build, deploy, and run AI agents in production. • Build agents and agent infrastructure across the full lifecycle — plan/act/observe loops, tool and MCP integrations, deployment, and day-2 operations. • Make evaluation a first-class part of the platform: build the tracing, eval suites, and quality signals that let teams measure agents, catch regressions, and iterate to make them better. • Own reliability, observability, and guardrails for non-deterministic systems running at very high scale. • Lead cross-functional initiatives with ML scientists, data scientists, product managers, and other AI Platform teams. • Rapidly iterate with users to improve the developer experience while establishing durable foundational capabilities.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of delivering quality results. • Hands-on experience building, deploying, operating, AND evaluating LLM agents in production — not just chat-completion apps or prototypes. • Experience with one or more agent frameworks/SDKs (Strands, OpenAI Agents SDK, Anthropic Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, pydantic-ai, CrewAI, Google ADK) and with tool/function calling and MCP. • Experience with LLM/agent evaluation and observability — building eval suites, tracing, and quality measurement, then iterating on results (Braintrust, LangSmith, W&B, or equivalent). • Strong experience building SDKs and APIs for internal or external developers. • Strong fundamentals in building and operating scalable, observable, fault-tolerant distributed systems. • Proficiency in Python (and Python packaging tooling) plus one of Java, Go, C/C++, Rust, or Zig. • Familiarity with our stack — Temporal, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes — is a plus. • Experience with large-scale build, release, CI/CD, and observability methods.
