Senior Software Engineer (L5) - Continuous Integration Platform

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what's next.

Netflix's source code is distributed across tens of thousands of code repositories written in numerous programming languages, developed by thousands of engineers. Engineers are constantly making changes to these repositories, which are being built and tested on Netflix's continuous integration infrastructure, powered by Jenkins. Our Jenkins-based infrastructure is hosted across 40+ controllers and 1000+ build agents, running tens of thousands of build jobs a day. However, it is time that we modernize our CI tooling, and we are looking for senior engineers to help us build a next-generation CI platform.
