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.
Content Promotion & Distribution (CPD) sits at the intersection of the consumer experience and the Netflix Studio. Our team is integral to making the Netflix experience feel personal and relevant by developing innovative approaches to how we catalog, promote, localize, and distribute content. The CPD Engineering Organization creates technology to set up, promote, localize and launch content on the Netflix service and off service on social channels. We build products and services that manage a global entertainment catalog and enable our members to discover, choose and talk about the content they can watch or play.
Within CPD, the Localization Tech team provides the product and technology for the efficient translation and cultural adaptation of all member interactions - from beautifully localized user interfaces to subtitles and dubbing of all Netflix content at scale . Our mission is to make experiencing Netflix feel immersive and meaningful, no matter what language you speak .
As part of Localization Tech, the Logistics Management team manages the end-to-end logistics, communication, and context delivery for the entire lifecycle of content localization. The team's primary mission is to drive operational efficiency across all localization assets by focusing users on the most urgent, strategic, and creative decisions.
We are currently undergoing a massive shift to evolve the Content Localization Portal (CLP) into an AI-first, exception-based localization operations platform. We need a product-minded, innovative Engineering leader to help lead this transformation!
