Netflix is an incredible place to work filled with dynamic, talented, and creative people. Our culture values a large degree of freedom to innovate, relying on self-discipline to avoid chaos. We place a large amount of responsibility with everyone at Netflix. This thoughtful culture pushes the boundaries of traditional security approaches, but allows for creative freedom, low friction, and polished user experience. As a result, we often develop innovative ways to keep our customers and company safe.
Our team is passionate about building creative security tools which model user behavior, detect suspicious activity and compromise, and take action to protect Netflix. Your focus will be to develop security tools that augment and respect human performance within the system, and improve user experience and awareness. The team brings together a set of diverse talents in security, data science and algorithms, and core systems and front-end development; you will be continually challenged to learn and approach problems in new ways while working alongside experts in these domains.
Our team’s problem:
• How do we know when one of our corporate services or accounts has been compromised by someone seeking to damage Netflix or harm one of our customers by exposing private information?
• Can we learn typical employee activity patterns and identify deviations?
• What action should we take and how quickly can and should we respond?
• Can we do this accurately without relying on a strictly rule-based trigger?
• Can we engage our employees in this response in a way that they value instead of growing numb to security overload?
As our ideal teammate:
• You have a strong background in front-end and full-stack development environments.
• You want to build a stunning front-end experience and desire to dive deep and contribute within our backend platform.
• You enjoy working with small to mid-sized development teams.
• You like being self-led but highly aligned with your teammates; we develop fast, and align daily.
• You love to learn new technologies quickly and to pivot as our team evolves the project; today we use Node.js, Polymer, React/Redux, Python, Spark, and Big Data technologies such as Hive and ElasticSearch.
• You have interest in open source projects where you will contribute to the open source security space to give back to the larger security community.
We need you to bring strong development expertise to help us solve this problem. You will need an excellent ability to communicate across our team and the organization. Your experience can come from a variety of places including work experience, formal or informal education. You will have ample opportunities to grow professionally, to contribute both inside and outside of Netflix, and to enable Netflix to bring moments of joy around the world.
