About this role
Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 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. At Netflix, Talent Tech Engineering is evolving from maintaining operational HR systems to building experience platforms that reshape how work gets done across the employee lifecycle — from Talent Acquisition to Talent Management, and foundational HR operations and data workflow. We’re not just automating workflows. We’re reimagining internal workflows for the age of AI: reducing friction, surfacing better context, and building systems that are simpler, faster, and more intuitive for the people who use them. Our goal is to reduce administrative drag toward consumer-grade internal products that improve productivity and decision quality. We’re looking for a technically strong, execution-focused Engineering Manager to lead software engineers building internal applications for the Talent domain. This role is for someone who can navigate ambiguity, bring technical credibility, and help shape systems that are functional and future-fit. Responsibilities Lead and develop a team of software engineers building high-impact internal Talent applications. Create clarity, accountability, and strong execution in a team working on business-critical workflows and platforms. Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Talent stakeholders globally to translate business needs into durable technical solutions. Help evolve internal systems from process-heavy operational tools into intuitive experience platforms. Guide the team through architectural and delivery trade-offs. Evaluate and decide when to use vendor capability, when to extend it, and when to build in-house solutions. Help architect systems that support AI-native workflows. Minimum Qualifications Experience leading internal or enterprise product engineering teams. Experience managing and scaling distributed engineering teams across different locations. Technical background in workflow-heavy systems, integrations, and operationally sensitive domains. Experience managing engineering teams (approximately 6 or more engineers). Technical depth to guide architectural choices, evaluate assumptions, and maintain strong engineering standards. Effective communication and stakeholder-management skills across written and verbal channels, especially with cross-functional business partners. Preferred Qualifications Experience in HR / Talent technology or another enterprise domain with complex workflows. Experience partnering with teams across diverse time zones. Experience working across mixed third-party platforms and custom in-house systems. Why This Role Matters Netflix is preparing its internal systems for the next version of work. That means: Moving from fragmented, manually intensive workflows to connected platforms. Improving the speed and quality of decisions with cleaner data and better user experiences. Designing systems to support an AI-enabled future. Inclusion is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates.
