Netflix Content Writer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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. Content Promotion & Distribution Data Engineering team helps enable and inform how we launch, promote, and distribute Netflix content across surfaces, channels, and markets. When a Netflix member opens our app, visits a partner device, or encounters our campaigns off-service, we have a few precious moments to help them choose a story that is right for them at that moment in time.

Presenting compelling evidence - artwork, trailers, synopses, notifications, and marketing assets - that authentically represent each title and resonate with the member is essential to this effort. We also work to ensure these experiences scale globally across languages, devices, and distribution channels. Data and insights are at the heart of how we make these decisions.
