Netflix is the world's leading streaming entertainment service with 300+ million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, documentaries, feature films and mobile games across a wide variety of genres and languages. At Netflix, we want to entertain the world and are constantly innovating on how entertainment is imagined, created and delivered to a global audience. We currently stream content in more than 30 languages in 190 countries, topping over 300 million paid subscribers and are expanding into new forms of entertainment such as gaming. Engineering teams within Netflix work hard every day to scale and innovate this content production and membership experience in an ever growing complex software landscape.
The Cloud Network Engineering team’s goal is to create network architectures that can readily evolve with the needs of our product services and initiatives. Netflix is entering an exciting period as we evolve from a large-scale homogenous environment supporting streaming video on demand to a more heterogeneous one supporting these new businesses. We achieve this goal by developing tools and services that improve network availability, scale, performance and security. Our goals are to scale streaming services and support our expanded business use-cases of Gaming, Advertising and Studio. We deliver on these goals via our mission to evolve, manage, optimize, and scale the network on Netflix’s compute infrastructure.
Must have Skills & Experience:
- Experience developing solutions using cloud-native technologies and frameworks, with a strong focus on scalability and resilience.
- Expertise in cloud networking, particularly within AWS, including VPC design, subnetting, security groups, and routing, is highly desirable.
- Experience with Go, Java, Python, or similar object-oriented programming languages and a demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code.
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals across layers L2 to L7. This includes knowledge of network protocols and troubleshooting in production environments.
- A deep commitment to continuous learning, coupled with a pragmatic approach to thinking and the ability to navigate ambiguous areas and break down complex problems.
- A passion for technology combined with the ability to navigate ambiguous areas, breaking down complex problems into actionable solutions.
Nice to have skills:
- Experience with container and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- Experience building and operating microservices within a highly reliable and distributed systems environment. Demonstrated ability to ensure service resilience and scalability.
- Familiarity with Temporal or similar workflow orchestration tools for managing complex application workflows and ensuring fault-tolerant service execution.
What you’ll be doing in this role:
- Balancing bias to action with the ability to make well-informed bets.
- Engaging directly with end engineering users to understand their needs and improve their experience.
- Understanding and solving business needs at scale with high-quality solutions.
- Leaning into proactiveness and effective communication in pursuit of cross-functional alignment.
- Writing and maintaining code to solve complex network problems, automate network configuration, and streamline management processes, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of our network infrastructure.
- Contributing to the design and architecture of network components, including VPCs, load balancers, network gateways, and IPv6 configurations, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of the platform.
- Engaging directly with end engineering users to understand their needs and continuously improve their experience with our network solutions.
- Understanding and addressing business needs at scale, delivering high-quality solutions that align with our organizational goals and strategy.
You will be successful in the role if:
- You thrive in ambiguity; complex and fuzzy requirements are more common than clearly defined customer expectations.
- You take incremental steps toward solving big problems; test and learn approaches work better than heads down development.
- You are independent and self driven; progress is often self-directed by teams & individuals.
- You’ve read about Netflix’s culture and think you would thrive here.
Here are a few recent talks and posts from members of the team to highlight the work we do:

Align your resume to Netflix's cloud stack
Netflix runs heavily on AWS and has open-sourced tools like Spinnaker and Hystrix. Framing your experience around cloud-native architecture, microservices, and large-scale distributed systems puts your resume in the language Netflix's engineering teams actually use.
Target roles that match your visa category
Netflix sponsors multiple visa types, including H-1B, E-3, and TN. If you're on OPT, apply with enough lead time for your employer to file before your OPT expires, since USCIS requires the H-1B cap-subject petition to be filed by April 1 for an October 1 start.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Cloud Engineer openings by sponsorship
Not every Netflix job listing specifies visa support upfront. Use Migrate Mate to surface Cloud Engineer roles at Netflix that have a confirmed sponsorship history, so you're applying to positions where the process is already established.
Prepare for Netflix's systems design interview format
Netflix's engineering interviews weight distributed systems design heavily. Practicing scenarios like designing a globally distributed content delivery layer or a fault-tolerant job scheduling system directly mirrors the infrastructure scale Netflix's cloud teams operate at daily.
Confirm the LCA is filed before your start date
For H-1B and E-3 hires, your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with the DOL before submitting your visa petition. Ask your Netflix recruiter or immigration contact which law firm manages filings and when the LCA process typically begins after offer acceptance.
Document your specialty occupation credentials early
USCIS scrutinizes cloud engineering roles under the specialty occupation standard. Gather transcripts, degree equivalency evaluations if your degree is from outside the U.S., and any certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect before your employer's immigration counsel starts the petition.

Find Cloud Engineer at Netflix JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Netflix sponsor H-1B visas for Cloud Engineers?
Yes, Netflix sponsors H-1B visas for Cloud Engineer roles. Netflix works with outside immigration counsel to manage the H-1B cap-subject process, which includes filing a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and submitting the I-129 petition to USCIS. If you're already in H-1B status with another employer, Netflix can file an H-1B transfer, which lets you start work as soon as the petition is received.
How do I apply for Cloud Engineer jobs at Netflix?
Apply directly through Netflix's careers site and tailor your application to the specific cloud platform or reliability engineering team you're targeting. Netflix's hiring process for Cloud Engineers typically includes recruiter screening, technical phone interviews, and a systems design round. You can also browse Cloud Engineer openings at Netflix filtered by sponsorship eligibility on Migrate Mate before applying.
Which visa types does Netflix commonly sponsor for Cloud Engineer roles?
Netflix sponsors H-1B, E-3, TN, and F-1 OPT for Cloud Engineer positions, along with Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for longer-tenured employees. Australian citizens are frequently able to use the E-3 visa, which avoids the H-1B lottery entirely. Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles may be eligible for the TN visa category.
What qualifications does Netflix expect for Cloud Engineer roles?
Netflix Cloud Engineer roles generally require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, or a closely related field, along with hands-on experience designing and operating distributed systems at scale. Familiarity with AWS services, container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tools is commonly expected. Roles on the platform reliability side often weight prior experience with large-scale incident response.
How do I manage visa timing when starting at Netflix?
If you're on OPT, confirm your OPT expiration date and work backward from the April 1 H-1B filing deadline. Netflix's immigration team typically initiates the LCA with the DOL several weeks before the petition window opens. If you need a cap-exempt option or are transferring from another employer, an H-1B transfer has no annual deadline and your employment can begin once USCIS issues a receipt notice.
