We are a fintech startup and solving the problem of paper Checks. Contrary to popular opinion paper Checks are not going away, in fact according the 2016 report by the Federal Reserve 17.2 Billion paper Checks were sent in 2015 in the US alone, transferring a sum of money 4.5X times VISA/MC combined!

We’ve built a way to send images of Checks instantly in email and the recipient can Deposit them online by verifying their bank account instantly. Furthermore building and enabling a Blockchain for settlement enables instant verification and disbursement. Basically we are doing to paper Checks what Stripe and Square of have done to the Credit Card space in Online and Mobile payments.

Netflix is shaping the future of global entertainment and reinventing how people watch television. Netflix applications are among the most successful and widely used in the world across a wide range of devices, including phones, tablets, game consoles, TVs, and desktop/laptops.

Our team is passionate about building and advancing core libraries, platforms, and services that are used across our device platforms. We design systems to be reliable at scale and flexible to product innovations. The projects you work on will not only help to continually improve how we deliver a better experience to our 100+ million members but also boost the productivity of over 200 engineers.

Challenges for 2017

In the coming year, our big goal is to migrate teams to the next-generation of the Netflix API, the system which processes and orchestrates all requests from devices to backend services. We’re building a high-scale platform that leverages Node.js and Docker containers to enable UI client teams to easily write and deploy their own services to the cloud. These services will be sitting in the middle of much of the action. Every request from every device from our 100+ million users will go through this new stack.

This is a highly cross-functional project with implications for many teams at Netflix. It will make our system more usable and developer friendly as well as more reliable, scalable, and performant as we continue to grow globally. There is no shortage of opportunities to shape the future of our product.

How you will help

Build, optimize and scale our Node.js platform and infrastructure Work on first-class integration of Node.js in the Netflix cloud ecosystem Ensure full observability into the state of Node.js services and real-time analytics Collaborate with engineers to identify common pain points, develop solutions, and evangelize best practices Provide technical leadership across UI engineering and help guide the overall engineering vision Improve developer productivity through better tools, processes and frameworks
