Jobs in Los Gatos, CA

About the role

We are looking for a senior technical leader to own the technical direction of this pod, set the architectural bar, and drive execution on the hardest problems in event processing at Netflix scale. This is a 60% builder / 40% influencer role: you will write code, ship a proof-of-concept in your first weeks, and earn the trust of an opinionated senior team while simultaneously setting direction across the organization.

What you'll bring

• 10+ years
• building distributed systems and backend services at large scale
• 3+ years  in the ads domain
• Deep experience with high-throughput event ingestion and stream processing at scale — Kafka, Flink, Spark Streaming, or equivalent
• Built and operated event deduplication, validation, and attribution systems in an ads or similarly high-stakes data environment
• Strong understanding of exactly-once and at-least-once delivery semantics, idempotency patterns, and the tradeoffs between them
• Experience designing  event schemas and data contracts  that serve multiple downstream consumers with different latency and consistency requirements
• Familiarity with ad measurement concepts: impression tracking, viewability, click attribution, completion rates, and IAB standards
• Track record of technical leadership across multiple teams, setting architectural direction and influencing cross-functional roadmaps
• Comfortable at the intersection of engineering, data, and product   — translating advertiser reporting requirements and billing accuracy needs into production systems
• Demonstrated ability to operate in an environment that is a mix of big-tech scale and startup speed, delivering production-ready results on tight timelines
