Software Engineer 5 - Account Foundations

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. We launched a new ad-supported tier in November 2022 to offer our members more choice in how they consume their content. Our new tier allows us to attract new members at a lower price point, while also creating a compelling path for advertisers to reach audiences that are deeply engaged. We wrapped up our first two years of the journey and are well into year three with more exciting things to come! Our Team The Account Foundations team owns the authoritative accounts domain for Netflix Ads, building the single source of truth for who advertisers are, what they're eligible for, and how they transact. The team owns the core accounts platform (data model, APIs, hierarchy, lifecycle), the intelligence layer that enriches advertiser and agency data with first-party and third-party signals, and automated systems for eligibility verification and spend attribution on Netflix Ads Suite. Our work is foundational to every downstream product and sales workflow in Netflix Ads Suite. Skills & experience we're seeking:

• Experience building and owning platform-layer APIs and services where other teams and external integrators build on top of your data models and contracts.
• Deep understanding and experience of how to build extensible, high-scale systems.
• Experience modeling complex entity/object hierarchies and account lifecycle systems, ideally including graph-based data modeling to represent multi-tier relationships and ownership structures.
• Proficiency with building gRPC, REST, or GraphQL APIs with backward-compatible contracts, versioning strategies, and deprecation governance.
• Experience building externalized APIs for third-party integrators as well as integrating with third-party data vendors across diverse delivery mechanisms.
• Experience building data ingestion and processing pipelines that support multiple delivery mechanisms (batch files, data streams, API endpoints)
• Strong backend engineering skills with Java, Spring Boot, and experience with distributed systems, microservices, NoSQL databases, Apache Kafka, and CI/CD pipelines on cloud/AWS.
• Working familiarity with advertising demand-side systems: account registration, campaign management, account management and authorization.
