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.
The Games Technical Program Management (TPM) team, an integral part of Games Engineering, is dedicated to developing robust, end-to-end platform capabilities for developers and enabling Netflix members to seamlessly discover and engage with exciting interactive experiences. Our work spans game canvases across TV, web, and mobile; the Netflix Games Controller; on-device and cloud gaming infrastructure; and the studio tools and developer ecosystem that power every title we ship.
Data is foundational to how we build, launch, and improve games at Netflix. Our Games Data Science & Engineering (DSE) teams build the measurement infrastructure, experimentation frameworks, telemetry pipelines, and analytical capabilities that inform decisions across both the Games Platform and our internal and external game studios. As Games scales, the complexity and criticality of this data infrastructure grows in lockstep.
As a TPM embedded in this space, you will drive the programs that make Games DSE work, from telemetry pipelines and experimentation platforms to studio-facing analytics tools and cross-functional data initiatives. You will sit at the intersection of engineering execution and analytical insight, partnering with data scientists, data engineers, platform engineers, and game studio teams to ensure the data systems underpinning Netflix Games are reliable, scalable, and impactful.
Who You Are
- An experienced technical program manager with a track record of delivering complex, multi-stakeholder programs in data engineering, data science, or analytics-adjacent domains.
- Technically fluent enough to engage meaningfully with data engineers and scientists, you understand data pipelines, telemetry architectures, experimentation frameworks, and analytical tooling without needing everything translated for you.
- A systems thinker who can map dependencies across platform, studio, and cross-functional data teams, and drive clarity when the path forward is ambiguous.
- A strong communicator who can write crisp program updates for engineers and readable executive summaries for leadership, and knows when each is needed.
- Proactive about risk: you identify problems before they become blockers and bring solutions, not just status.
- Collaborative by default, but direct when decisions need to be made or priorities need to be contested.
- Committed to an inclusive working environment where people from all backgrounds can do their best work.
What You Will Do
Drive Games Data Platform Programs
- Own end-to-end program delivery for Games Platform DSE initiatives, including telemetry instrumentation, data pipeline development, metrics infrastructure, and the systems that power game quality and performance measurement.
- Partner closely with data engineers, platform engineers, and product teams to build and ship foundational data capabilities that serve games across TV, mobile, web, and cloud.
- Manage cross-functional dependencies between Games Platform engineering and Games DSE, ensuring teams are unblocked, sequenced correctly, and aligned on shared deliverables.
- Create visibility into program health, surfacing risks and trade-offs to engineering leads and Games leadership through high-quality written communication and structured program reviews.
Enable Studio Analytics and Data Partnerships
- Serve as the TPM interface between Games DSE and game studio partners, internal and external, ensuring studios have the data tools, dashboards, and analytical support they need to understand and improve their games on the Netflix platform.
- Drive requirements gathering and scoping for studio-facing analytics products, translating developer and producer needs into actionable platform investments.
- Manage the delivery of studio analytics tooling from concept through launch, including integration work with the Games Lifecycle and Developer Ecosystem teams.
- Build and maintain clear communication about data capabilities and roadmap status with game development partners, reducing ambiguity and improving developer satisfaction.
Own Experimentation and Measurement Infrastructure Programs
- Drive programs that deliver experimentation infrastructure for games, A/B testing frameworks, holdout methodology, experiment configuration tooling, enabling both platform and studio teams to run rigorous, statistically valid experiments.
- Partner with product and engineering leads to translate measurement strategy into concrete technical programs with clear milestones and accountability.
- Track adoption of data and experimentation capabilities across the games portfolio and drive initiatives that close gaps.
Operate with Technical Depth and Cross-Functional Influence
- Develop a working understanding of the Games data architecture, telemetry ingestion, data warehouse patterns, event schemas, pipeline orchestration, sufficient to identify technical risks and evaluate trade-offs without needing full translation from engineers.
- Engage across Games Engineering, Games DSE, Games Studio, and central Netflix Data Platform teams to manage dependencies, align on shared standards, and resolve conflicts between competing priorities.
- Exemplify the Netflix culture by understanding, advocating for, and demonstrating its values in how you lead, communicate, and operate.
What Sets You Apart
- Direct experience working with or alongside data engineering or analytics engineering teams, pipelines, warehouse, orchestration.
- Familiarity with experimentation platforms and A/B testing methodology.
- Experience supporting game development or game analytics in a studio, platform, or publisher context.
- Comfort working across multiple game platforms, including mobile (Android/iOS), TV, and cloud/web.
- Experience with developer-facing tools, SDKs, or developer experience programs.
- Ability to leverage GenAI tools to accelerate your work, with a genuine curiosity about how these tools are reshaping technical program management.
