Netflix is the first truly global internet television network and we want the world to experience the joy of entertainment wherever and whenever they want. Netflix currently has over 86 million members in over 190 countries who enjoy more than 125 million hours of TV shows and movies per day. In 2017, Netflix will produce over 1000 hours of original content.
About Us
The Content Algorithms team has two key areas of focus. We build tools and services that allow us to extract metadata from every single frame of video content on the Netflix service. We then use that metadata to find interesting images and scenes which allows us to build montages (and eventually trailers), as well assist in the product AB testing experience.

We also build systems to let us use human generated and automatically derived inputs to define, maintain and manipulate fine-grained categorical descriptions for all of our content. The collective output of all of our work is leveraged extensively by the rest of the Netflix product experience.
