Engineering Manager - Capabilities Enablement

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.

About The Team

Domain Enablement works closely to enable partner teams, like Ads, Live, Games, and more, use the Member Platform to build and operate different member experiences. The Capabilities team within Domain Enablement is building the next generation of the platform’s distributed systems that supports defining and exposing the platform’s offerings to our partners.

The Role

You'll manage six to ten backend engineers and own the team’s growth, the roadmap, and technical delivery. You'll help turn partner needs into core platform capabilities and you'll treat the platform as a product - balancing today’s business needs and anticipating the goals of tomorrow. You will use your distributed systems background to be responsible for both guiding enhancements of today's systems while identifying and organizing teams to build the next generation of systems.

What You'll Do

- You’ll coach, grow, and hire stunning engineers. You set clear expectations and give feedback that arrives on time and helps.
- You’ll partner to shape the technical direction and shared capability infrastructure.
- You’ll own the leverage the platform provides the broader organization.
- You’ll improve observability, on-call, and the safety of changes and migrations.
- You’ll build shared contracts and execution paths so new partners need to stop requiring custom platform work.
- You work with peer engineering teams, product managers, and domain partners to plan changes, clear dependencies, and keep ownership clear.
- You’ll guide your roadmap with data informed measures whether the platform is getting easier to adopt and operate.

What We're Looking For

- You've led teams through ambiguity and navigated hard people and technical challenges.
- You communicate clearly at every level, from a design review to an exec readout.
- You think of a platform as a product. You simplify the path through a complex system and balance partner deadlines against reusable investment.
- You have great judgement - especially in ambiguous situations.
- You build trust with partners whose goals differ from yours, and you get work done with them.
- You know distributed systems well enough to engage on architecture and incident decisions with senior engineers.
- You've built reliable services at scale and improved how teams test, observe, deploy, and operate them.
