Netflix is enjoyed by more than 230 million members globally, entertaining new audiences every day.  We are in the midst of major transformative developments for the Netflix product with the launch of an Advertising-supported plan, Games, and Live content.

• Develop a deep understanding of the data ecosystem at Netflix from a privacy lens
• Partner with the privacy engineering teams to understand product goals and provide data that enables us to respond to customer and regulatory data requests
