You can write Reinforcement Learning that works or Data Visualization that lasts; our Data Scientist role at Netflix Studios is for engineers who insist on both. Set against the usual technology listings, this freelance role at Netflix Studios stands out for one reason — it pays $77,000 - $116,000 and trusts you.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate a napkin idea from Netflix Studios founders into a Hadoop design-led prototype
- Deliver mid-level-quality features within the $77,000 - $116,000 Data Scientist mandate
- Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core Netflix Studios products
- Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
- Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
- Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
- Carry the Feature Engineering platform work that makes Netflix Studios's next KS expansion boring
What You'll Bring
- A point of view, held loosely and defended well
- The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
- Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
- 3 years that taught you which corners can be cut
- Willingness to commute to Lawrence, KS or work flexibly as needed
- A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
- Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
Rooted in Lawrence and restless by nature, Netflix Studios keeps reinventing how Feature Engineering and Hadoop fit together. The unwritten rule in Lawrence is simple: leave the codebase kinder than you found it.
The offer rewards both ends, $77,000 - $116,000 for your Hadoop today and mentorship for the mid-level leader you become tomorrow.
