The role
This role sits on the Enterprise Experience Design team. We are focused on developing products to help Netflix and our partners plan, produce, launch, and promote the best content for our members at a global scale.

We leverage our vast data sets and cutting-edge AI technology to improve operational workflows and enhance content decision-making.
