Engineering Manager Workload Identity Engineering

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

Every time you watch a show or play a game on Netflix, the Workload Identity team is quietly working to keep your data and the company’s systems secure.

Workload Identity Engineering builds and operates foundational security services that manage and enforce internal & external identities used to transit the Netflix Ecosystem. The team is looking for a new Engineering Manager as it grows and responds to new business needs such as deeper integrations between remote systems, developer support, GenAI systems and other places that require transiting identities across virtual boundaries.
