Netflix is almost everywhere. Serving over 80 million customers in 190 countries on devices such as Smart TVs, set-top boxes and software on phones, tablets and computers, Netflix is striving to deliver the vision of #NetflixEverywhere. The Engineers that create this service require a world-class environment and access to thousands of devices in which to build, and perfect, the Netflix experience.

Netflix requires talented and driven individuals that can take our internal development and certification environment to the next level.

Lab often invokes the thought of white lab coats working in a sterile environment. It is just the term we give to the places where we run tests. Think of Lab as experimenting, trying new and innovative things, and in doing so, having a lot of fun in the process.
