As a global company, Netflix’s customers come from diverse backgrounds. Each of these backgrounds allows them to experience Netflix in their own unique way. Ultimately, this joy is rooted in our customers’ ability to trust Netflix. At Netflix, we earn this trust through our actions every day, and we work hard to continue to build this trust with our customers throughout the world.

Our team uses data for the consumer product security in two ways: 1) provide insights into effectiveness of security measures across products, and 2) build intelligence to address fraud in scale. Examples of fraud we deal with include device compromise, content piracy, service abuse and more.

We achieve our goals through both technical work on the team and cross-functional partnerships. We are looking for a security engineer to join our team to drive security metrics as well as data solutions for detection and prevention across the fraud landscape.

What you will work on:

The person in this role will drive insights and discovery of fraud in our ecosystem by understanding our infrastructure, and product, identifying high risk areas, and driving changes to our anomaly detection and product experiences. You will leverage your security and fraud prevention expertise to analyze patterns, identify new signals, and recommend adjustments based on impact to our customers and Netflix.

  • Develop data-driven insights to influence our device & product security strategy, including identifying new signals for anomaly detection

  • Compile and track anomalous request patterns and identify potential mitigations

  • Plan and recommend changes to increase the security of the device and content security

  • Analyze error logs to quantify potential device-level vulnerabilities

  • Develop characterizations of request attributes across a diverse device and client ecosystem to quantify potential automation 

  • Build insights into security and identity of the Netflix diverse and large-scale device ecosystem and develop dashboards to cascade the insights to a wide range of stakeholders

Desired skills and background:

  • Passionate about protecting our customers & product

  • Familiarity with various aspects of fraud and abuse types, including device compromise, DRM compromise, or content piracy.

  • Experience with analytics (SQL (Presto, sparkSql, python)) and critical thinking.

  • A strong communicator & collaborator in varying contexts & environments. 

We are looking for thoughtful professionals who enable our mission and support our culture of freedom and responsibility.  You can learn more about life at Netflix by watching our security talks or exploring our open source work.

The Netflix culture permeates our work environment. It determines who we hire, how we work together, and how we make decisions. It encourages us to bring our best every day while valuing collaboration over individual achievement.

We rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.
