Netflix is the leading provider of streaming video, a lot of it original content: features, shorts, series, documentaries, comedy specials and unscripted content. Optimizing content quality and longevity without compromising efficiency across all types of projects presents significant challenges, but that's what the Production Technologies team does by setting technical requirements and best practices, driving new industry standards, consulting on the studio's technical infrastructure, providing direct support to Netflix Original Productions and staying up-to-date with the most advanced developments in professional and consumer technology.

Every day, we collaborate with the crews as well as our internal production, post-production, distribution, marketing, facilities and development teams.

• Evaluate new hardware and software solutions and technology for production.
• Design technology solutions to fulfill creative needs.

Qualifications:
• 10 years of experience in motion picture post-production, visual effects and/or animation, interacting with creatives and operators, managing maintenance and upgrades.
• Experience supporting Avid, Nuke, ProTools, After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere, Maya, remote review tools (T-VIPS, Teradek, StreamBox…) and related hardware and accessories (workstations, monitors, tablets).
