Netflix - Fulltime in Los Gatos, CA

We have a ton of positions open, but I'm looking for one in particular. I'm hoping HN can help me come up with a good title for the position (We've been calling it Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) but the more people we talk to the more it sounds like that isn't quite right). The job is:

1/3 of the time you'll be either the call leader for an outage situation or following up on a previous outage to determine root cause and what can be done to prevent that class of failure in the future.

1/3 of the you'll be working with teams throughout the company evangelizing best practices for reliability, scalability and distributed computing, such as helping them figure out caching strategies or how to use queues more effectively or avoiding global locks.

The last 1/3 of your time will be spent coding (mostly in Python) writing tools that help maintain the reliability of Netflix. Some tools we have written are an intelligent alert routing gateway, and tool to keep track or changes throughout the AWS environment, and simple tools like one that keeps track of EIP assignments or collects tcpdumps to send to Amazon.

So HN, what do you think the title of this role should be? Also, I didn't include the work DevOps in the description because it feels overused, but do you think it should be in there?

Our core product is a digital transcription platform that includes both desktop components and web components as well as integrating with various data services and voice recognition services. We're pushing to move to a purely web based solution, but there's still some interesting problems to solve around how you use client-side hardware like digital voice recorders from a browser. We're also starting to build a suite of data analysis tools on top of all the data we've got to do thing like automatic document taging and coding - there's plenty of interesting challenges ahead!

    - ASP.Net MVC 3/4
    - SQL (SQLServer)
    - WCF
Nice To Have

We're looking for a mix of junior and more experienced developers to join our team and we'll be looking to hire more than one person. We're a small but friendly company who believe in working sane hours and going out for a drink afterwards.

We're looking to pay fair salaries - up to £30k for Junior Devs (one or two years experience) and up to £50k for more senior developers - and we want to provide an environment that you'll enjoy working in. We're moving to a new office in a few months time that's being designed just for us and which should be a pretty plush working environment!

I am not Brian D Foy so stop maligning his name. Brian D Foy doesn't work for Booking and he never has.

Booking tries to keep the big names you mentioned happy so that they don't spill the beans. These names get the best development projects and the big money. One of their job responsibilities as a senior developer is to advertise and say good things about the company. I concur with you that they play this game well. In fact open praise in developer forums about the company is a sure way to land good bonus.

They make tonnes of money but none of that is shared with the developers although they put up with the grunge work of fixing one of the worst Perl code in the industry patched up by people who left in a hurry.

I speak for those who are going to leave their family, friends at home with the hopes that they would be doing good work based on the big names working there only to find that the reality is totally different.

The treatment meted out to the rest of the developers is shameful and you know it and the Perl blog mentions all the pain points.

The expats do not know the local employment laws of Netherlands and Booking.com fully exploits this to the hilt.

And the truth can be found out easily from people who left the company and who currently do not get a direct/indirect monetary benefit of saying good things about the company, and given that you are recruiting for them and get approximately thousand Euro atleast for every successful lead, it disqualifies you.

Sounds just like Google SREs. So seems to be a good fit yet.

No, you need a National Insurance Number to work, you need to have permission to work in the UK to be paid.

Is it generally hard to issue permission in UK, or this means that some particular company is not capable of doing it?

I'm a UK citizen, so I have no idea how hard it is.
