About the Engineering Support Organization

The aim of the Engineering Support Organization is to enable Infrastructure Engineering to effectively and sustainably scale the support they provide to their customers. The team  is the frontline resource for the engineering support needs of our customers (i.e., our workforce) - handling, troubleshooting, and resolving customer requests and issues. In addition, the team will focus on ways of working, customer advocacy, support tooling, platform product offerings, documentation, and developer education. 

Our Mission 

Deliver an excellent support experience to Netflix’s developer community. To advocate for our customers, follow through on issues and resolve them in a reasonable time. If blockers prevent immediate resolution, we communicate status and ensure there is visibility into why there is a delay. 

Provide insights, feedback and champion customer sentiment about the tools we support to our partners across Infrastructure Engineering. Partner with Product Management, Developer Education and Engineering to track and maintain visibility into ongoing issues and communicate customer needs to ensure improving in these areas is prioritized.

Drive collaboration efforts to reduce product friction and increase usability so that Infrastructure Engineering can build, deploy and deliver highly functional solutions for the Developer Community.
