Design the control plane and orchestration layer for Netflix's in-house studio compute/storage infrastructure
Netflix's Creative Compute and Storage Software Services team builds an in-house infrastructure platform that acts like a cloud provider for global creative production workflows. This role owns orchestration of compute, disk, network, and other resources across globally distributed systems, and advances core VM, container, and storage technologies. You'll need 5+ years in Go, Java, or a similar OO language and a track record designing large, fault-tolerant distributed systems across regions.
