Netflix, New York, New York, United States,
At Netflix, our mission is to Entertain the World. We deliver billions of hours of movies and TV shows per month to more than 260 million members in over 190 countries. Content Engineering builds the products and services used by our internal and external partners to create, launch, and promote our global content. Our products enable the entire workflow of content production, from pitch to play, and provide innovative new ways to develop and manage entertainment at scale.
