Software Engineer L5, Live Ads Management

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.

We launched a new ad‑supported tier in November 2022, offering more choice to members while providing a new, high‑impact way for advertisers to connect with deeply engaged audiences. We are now building a world‑class offering around booking, managing, and delivering ads for Live Events.

Our Team

The Ads Platform Engineering organization builds the foundation that powers every ad delivered on Netflix. We design systems that seamlessly integrate advertising into our world‑class content delivery ecosystem — blending advanced encoding, metadata intelligence, and client‑server innovations to deliver ads that are personalized, performant, and respectful of the viewing experience.

The Live Ads Management team is at the forefront of this evolution. We focus on :

• Planning and execution of ads for Netflix Live Events like recurring WWE events, NFL Christmas game, WBC Japan and FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027.
• Partnering with Ad Serving and streaming teams to ensure flawless Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) during live streams.
• Building next‑generation applications to power ad operations — from UI tooling to automated, agentic workflows that dynamically generate ad manifests and intelligent ad‑sourcing to scale for millions of concurrent viewers.

We’re a new team with a bold mission — to build high‑performance, intelligent ad systems that monetize Netflix’s expanding live slate while setting a new benchmark for quality and innovation in the Connected TV (CTV) ecosystem.

We are seeking highly motivated engineers with a passion for advertising technology, live streaming, and large‑scale distributed systems to join us on this journey.
