Hi I think I might be qualified for Senior Performance Engineer at Netflix. I’m a Linux nerd with significant experience in performance analysis, kernel development, public cloud and distributed systems. The job description is very consistent with my experience. I’ve had an offer from Netflix in the past as SWE but didn’t take it because it was not a convenient time for me. I think now timing might be right, and this role sounds very interesting. Before I reach out to a few recruiters, can someone from the company share some general opinions on the role? Is it very cut throat? Is it interesting? Challenging role to perform? My TC demand would be in the 400k range, if I pass of course. Thanks all!
What’s TC?
Total compensation
Sounds like it could be a good fit. Perf is a great team. Stunning engineers and great humans. Yes, you'll have to be excellent at what you do, but don't rule yourself out. Give it a shot!
Oh, and don't worry about the TC. If they make an offer, it'll be good. Regardless of what you ask for.
Thanks. I’m very worried about not being able to perform at Netflix, especially in such a talented team.
Definitely give it a shot. And yeah aim for higher TC
Aim higher than 400k given your skills and experience.
Haha first I need to see if they even want me for that role, generally they just hire rock stars!
