At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
The Analytics Platform and Experience (APeX) team is responsible for providing orchestration and compute technologies to ETL and to access nearly 1 ExaByte of data in the Netflix Warehouse. It is also responsible for the underlying table format, Iceberg (an industry-standard table format and an open-source project originating in this team), metadata, security, and the data lifecycle (janitoring, compaction, etc.). The team also owns the end-to-end development experience for data practitioners and provides scalable, self-serve analytics capabilities and platforms for Analytics Engineers and business users.
Within APeX, the Orchestration team builds and operates a reliable, cost-efficient, and easy-to-use orchestration platform that powers Netflix's analytics and machine learning workflows. We enable scheduling, orchestrating, and executing big data workflows at scale—supporting the backbone of how data is produced, transformed, and consumed across Netflix. At the core of this platform is Maestro, our next-generation workflow orchestration system. Maestro is a fully managed workflow-as-a-service (WaaS), designed and built in-house to meet Netflix’s scale and complexity. Maestro serves thousands of users—including data scientists, data engineers, ML engineers, and software engineers—powering hundreds of thousands of workflows and millions of jobs every day.
Beyond orchestration, the team is investing in higher-level abstractions. This includes an ETL framework for incremental data processing that improves data freshness and accuracy while simplifying backfills—directly impacting cost and operational efficiency. We are also advancing intelligent operations through automated error classification and GenAI-powered remediation, leveraging systems like Pensive and Nightingale.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Partner to deliver the vision, strategy, and adoption of current and future technologies.
- Form trusting cross-functional partnerships to align many engineering teams and ensure our solutions meet their needs, selflessly prioritizing work beyond the scope of your own domain.
- Build, scale, and grow a team of outstanding engineers, challenge them to bring their best selves to work every day, and deliver industry-leading results in stability, performance, and efficiency.
- Balance smart risks, investment in foundational technical work, paying off tech debt, and incremental improvements to deliver timely results across multiple critical strategies.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- An experienced engineering leader who can drive a team of amazing and geographically distributed engineers to do their best work while building and maintaining strong partnerships with peers and stakeholders.
- Ability to dive deep as needed to facilitate technical strategy trade-offs and zoom out to understand the big picture to shape the product.
- Experience building and running extremely reliable platform systems supporting high-scale and critical workloads, including running a 24x7 on-call, 99.95+% availability, fast response, and short mean-time-to-restore service.
- Bring rigor to decision-making and reduce ambiguity with the right mix of data collection, seeking input, farming for dissent, and making pilot investments to build understanding or confirm direction.
- Proven track record helping a team deliver timely results on critical priorities against many demands for their time, and partnering with product and engineering management to influence the right areas for investment.
- Experience building and leading software engineering teams with a focus on inclusion and diversity, ensuring that we can attract and retain the best talent from anywhere and that all voices are heard to inform our direction.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience in Orchestration, Spark, Trino/Presto, Snowflake, BigQuery, RedShift, Druid, LanceDB, and/or Big Data Analytics technologies is not a must, but very desirable.
COMPENSATION
Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $436,000.00 - $791,000.00.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an Engineering Manager
Document your engineering leadership scope early
PERM job descriptions must match your actual duties precisely. Before applying, catalog the specific engineering disciplines you manage, the size of teams you've led, and any P&L or budget authority. Vague or inflated descriptions can trigger DOL audits.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Companies that have previously sponsored engineering managers through PERM already understand the multi-year timeline and legal costs involved. Search the DOL's OFLC disclosure database to verify that a prospective employer has filed PERM applications for managerial engineering roles, not just individual contributor positions.
Search green card sponsoring jobs on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Engineering Manager roles by employers with verified green card sponsorship history. This cuts out companies that only sponsor H-1B visas and focuses your search on employers already familiar with the PERM-to-I-140 process.
Confirm your degree aligns with EB-2 requirements
EB-2 requires a U.S. master's degree or a foreign equivalent, or a U.S. bachelor's plus five years of progressive post-degree experience. For Engineering Manager roles, a degree in engineering, computer science, or a closely related technical field is typically what USCIS expects the position to require.
Negotiate green card sponsorship into your offer letter
Ask explicitly whether the employer will initiate PERM within the first year of employment and who covers attorney and filing fees. Engineering Manager candidates often have leverage here; getting sponsorship terms in writing before you sign prevents disputes once you're already employed and mid-process.
Understand how your country affects your priority date
EB-3 for Engineering Managers is current for most nationalities, but applicants born in India or China face backlogs that can extend the wait by years. Check the monthly USCIS Visa Bulletin before accepting a role to understand your realistic timeline to lawful permanent residency.

Find Engineering Manager JobsEngineering Manager Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Engineering Manager role typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Engineering Manager positions qualify for EB-3 because they require at least a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field. If the role requires a master's degree or equivalent advanced credentials, your employer can file under EB-2 instead. Some employers file both simultaneously as a precaution, which lets you use whichever category moves faster given your priority date.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for Engineering Managers?
Green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency, not a temporary status with renewal limits. There's no annual lottery for EB-3, and once your I-140 is approved, the authorization doesn't expire if you change employers under AC21 portability rules after 180 days. The tradeoff is time: PERM labor certification alone takes six months to over a year before USCIS even sees your I-140 petition.
What is the PERM labor certification process for an Engineering Manager position?
PERM requires your employer to conduct a DOL-supervised recruitment campaign proving no qualified U.S. workers are available for the specific Engineering Manager role. That includes job postings, newspaper ads, and internal notices. The employer then submits the application to DOL, which takes roughly six to twelve months to certify. Only after certification can the employer file your I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS.
How can I find Engineering Manager jobs that offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search Engineering Manager roles specifically filtered by employers with verified employment-based green card sponsorship history. This is more targeted than a general job search because it surfaces companies that have completed PERM filings for similar roles before, not just those willing to consider sponsorship in theory.
Can I switch employers after my I-140 is approved without losing my green card progress?
Yes, under AC21 portability rules, you can change to a same or similar Engineering Manager role without losing your priority date if your I-485 adjustment of status application has been pending for at least 180 days. The new role must be in the same occupational classification, which for Engineering Managers is typically assessed using O*NET job zone criteria and SOC codes.
