Analytics Engineer (L5) - Content & Studio Job at Netflix in Los Angeles

Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with 278 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

The Role

Our mission at Netflix is to connect global stories with global audiences. When a Netflix member opens our app, we have a few precious moments to help them choose a story that is right for them at that instance. Presenting them evidence – Artwork, Trailers, Synopses – that authentically represents each title and resonates with the member is essential to this effort.

Getting this evidence just right for each title is a tall order but our creative strategists, art designers, and video editors are masters of this. Perhaps a more unique aspect of Netflix is that these teams deeply leverage data to inform their decision making as they go about creative tasks like designing artwork & cutting trailers or clips. This is made possible because Netflix UI is a thriving learning machine where Artwork & Video assets are personalized via reinforcement learning.

We’re looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer based in the United states. In this role, you would serve as a trusted partner for Creative Production leadership. Given this data & insights rich landscape, we are looking for a highly motivated Senior Analytics Engineer to partner with business teams and product managers to empower how we create Artwork and Trailers. This is an opportunity for you to have direct influence on strategic decisions through technical and business thought partnership that will ultimately shape promotional content.

As a Senior Analytics Engineer in this space, you will…

• Be a strategic partner for Studio & Creative Production teams: identify critical analytical problems and apply an entrepreneurial mindset to find innovative solutions with data

• Drive the direction of your work, developing solutions that span from scrappy code and prototype tools to high-visibility dashboards and analyses for Studio & Creative Production leadership

• Spearhead the creation of new metrics that impact decision-making

• Collaborate with Data Scientists & Data Engineers to source data from new systems and strengthen our foundational data models

You are…

• A strong communicator who can develop and deepen strong relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders. You have experience partnering closely with executive leadership, with a proven track record of influencing strategic decisions through data.

• Comfortable with ambiguity; able to thrive with minimal oversight and process. You connect the dots across business needs and independently drive projects forward.

• A senior analytics professional with extensive experience across data wrangling, analysis, reporting, and visualization.

• An expert in a data-oriented programming language (e.g. SQL, Python, R, Scala, etc.) and intuitive dashboard/visualization design (e.g. Tableau)

• Proficient in ETL and data warehousing best practices and core statistics concepts (e.g. hypothesis testing)

• Adept at working across different cultures on a globally-distributed team, with core working hours in the Central European and GMT time zones
