Identity resolution engineer for Netflix's Ads Identity Graph
Netflix's Ads Identity Graph team needs an engineer to build identity resolution services that match advertiser/partner data while preserving member privacy and consent. Expect deep questions on deterministic vs. probabilistic matching, large-scale Spark pipelines, and privacy-by-design tradeoffs — this is a senior/staff-caliber ($388K-$558K) individual contributor role despite the 'Software Engineer 5' title.
