The Role
About the team
The Online Data Stores organization offers high-leverage managed datastores and abstractions at scale to meet Netflix’s operational data requirements across all lines of business. These datastores encompass various types, including Caching, Relational, Search, Key-Value, and Composite abstractions. We focus on developing and maintaining high-performance, reliable, and efficient datastores. Additionally, we enhance developer productivity by providing secure, intuitive, and opinionated access layers.
ODS is seeking a new Engineering Manager in *each* of the following teams:
Caching - we are a dream team of nine stellar engineers providing caching as a centralized managed service. This service spans from in-memory caching for relatively small datasets to distributed caching for larger datasets. Our caching products currently include Hollow, Gutenberg, EVCache (memcached), and Redis. These products power critical Tier 0 services at Netflix, directly responsible for the uptime of the Netflix product. The team focuses on feature development—both on internal and open-source codebases—improving the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of the products, and enabling more use cases at Netflix. Additionally, the team is responsible for the uptime of the products, focusing on streamlining operations and keeping the operational burden in check.
Infrastructure & Composite Abstractions - We seek an Engineering Manager to lead two different pods (Infrastructure and Composite Abstractions). We are crucial in building and maintaining the reliability and scalability of our composite abstractions and the infrastructure supporting Netflix’s online data ecosystem. Composite Abstractions offers data abstractions interfacing with multiple ODS offerings (KeyValue, EVCache, Elasticsearch, etc.), overseeing key abstractions like TimeSeries, Graph, Counter, Identifier, and Tree. These abstractions are essential for diverse and complex data needs across Netflix’s systems. Infrastructure develops, deploys, and manages composable software fleets, ensuring seamless operations of our Online Data Stores and other managed database offerings. Key responsibilities include DataGateway Infrastructure, Control plane, Capacity Planner, and Stateful Compute Platform, focusing on minimizing operational overhead while maintaining high performance and reliability.
