Company mission
Entertainment, like friendship, is a fundamental human need; it changes how we feel and gives us common ground. Netflix is better entertainment at lower cost and greater scale than the world has ever seen. They want to entertain everyone, and make the world smile.
Role
Who you are
- At least 5 years of experience as an analytics professional
- Expertise in SQL, programming skills (e.g. Python, Scala), and some exposure to ETL and data warehousing concepts

What the job involves
- In this role, you will dive into different regions and countries to holistically answer questions like “Who are our members?”, “How satisfied are current members with our service?” and “How do the needs and expectations of non-members differ from those of members?”
- The questions you answer will help shape how senior leadership thinks about opportunities and challenges in these different regions, and enable us to evaluate and determine how our country-level strategies are performing
- As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining data pipelines, conducting in-depth analyses, and developing tools and products to create a single source of truth around Netflix's greatest consumer-facing opportunities and challenges—at both a company and country level
- The ideal candidate will excel in data analytics, storytelling with data, cross-functional collaboration, clear communication with executive stakeholders, and share a passion for continuously improving the way we use data to make Netflix better
- Become an expert in country-level performance by diving deep into our data to understand both our members and non-members
- Spearheaded research to understand the consumer-facing opportunities and challenges facing Netflix
- Scale these insights—Netflix is a global company, and we need to be able to efficiently zoom in on different regions throughout the world and ladder this up to a global view
- Share your learnings with high-level leaders in a way that is digestible, actionable, and clear
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Netflix was started when one of the co-founders had received a $40 late fee after failing to return a film on time. Now, Netflix is one of the fastest growing technology companies, reinventing the entertainment space by providing high quality content for low fees.
This is becoming an increasingly competitive space, with deep-pocketed rivals including Amazon, Disney, Apple and AT&T. They are all spending big on content and pricing cheaply in a battle to win subscribers.
After a dwindling number of subscribers due to tough competition in 2022, Netflix is focused and committed to improving its core service which is its TV, movies and now games going forward. Post-IPO funding of $183 million from Winslow Capital at the end of 2023 followed the previous year's dumping of shares by the same company after Netflix's first loss of subscribers. This capital indicates a shifting perspective on Netflix's outlook, which saw a year-end subscriber boost.
