At Netflix, we seek to entertain the world. We have more than 280 million members in 190 countries, reflecting that great stories can come from anywhere and be loved everywhere.

In April 2022, we announced that we are creating a new lower-priced, ad-supported tier for our customers. We are now working toward our goal of providing more choice for consumers and a premium, better-than-linear TV brand experience for advertisers. That said, we are looking for the founding members of this new business area for Netflix!

We conduct analyses and build Machine Learning models and tools in Ads scoring, ranking, pacing, and planning, all with the ultimate goal of creating more choices and joy for our members. As a leader in this space, you will work closely with partner teams in Product and Engineering to think big about our business goals and draw the blueprint for how we can achieve them through models and algorithms. Your team will apply strong analytical rigor to evaluate ideas, dissect problems, build models and workflows, provide recommendations and drive success on end-to-end initiatives in this 0 - 1 space.
