About the TeamNetflix's Workforce Security team protects its employees, endpoints, and vendors by implementing controls for secure user access, SaaS and vendor usage, and endpoint security. The goal is to address security risks while pragmatically allowing business agility, leveraging risk-based approaches over policy mandates, and building strong cross-functional partnerships across the company.
About the roleWe seek a talented L5 Security Software Engineer to join our team and help drive the development of scalable technical security controls that enhance business agility and reduce risk at Netflix across various workforce-related security areas.

You will uplift and extend internally developed security tools-e.g., GDrive access rightsizing, browser extension security, security posture, and metrics dashboards-by building new features, maintaining existing systems, and integrating with commercially available software where appropriate. You will be key in evaluating build vs. buy options for deploying the proper workforce security controls for Netflix's needs.
You will ensure that the software developed is high-quality and meets functional and non-functional requirements.

- Using measurement and metrics to drive decision-making and outcomes
- High-level understanding of security concerns
- Competency in turning Threat Models into security requirements
