Full-Stack Software Engineer 4/5 - Data Platform

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

Our Data Platform team builds and operates centralized platforms and tools that empower teams across Netflix to harness data for critical business decisions. We focus on making it straightforward for our partners to work with data efficiently, securely, and responsibly. We aspire to set the industry standard in building a world-class data infrastructure, supporting Netflix’s goal to be the most popular and widely accessible destination for global internet entertainment.

As the Data Platform charter grows, we are expanding our presence in Poland to further increase our impact. We’re looking for Full-Stack Engineers at senior levels (L4/L5) who are focused on building effective, end‑to‑end user experiences for Netflix’s Data Platform — from intuitive UIs to robust, scalable backend services. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that brings a wide range of perspectives as we address the next set of challenges.

This opportunity may be a strong match if you are interested in:

• Solving business needs at scale by applying your software engineering and analytical problem‑solving skills.
• Designing and building enterprise-grade products that are scalable and maintainable.
• Owning features end‑to‑end: building polished, responsive user interfaces, modeling data, and designing APIs.
• Leading cross-functional initiatives and collaborating with engineers, product managers, UX designers, and technical program managers across teams.
• Sharing experiences with open source communities and contributing to Netflix.
