The Role

Content Acquisition Engineering works on technology to help capture deal points from inception to end. This is inclusive of all stages across the deal life cycle: commercially agreed terms that turn into papered contracts to inform development & production execution, talent relationship management (contractual aspects), financial commitments, options/contractual date tracking and compliant exploitation of our content & music rights. The structure and recording of this data enables precedent discovery, which informs future negotiations.

What you will do
You will lead a large team of software engineers to deliver high-impact results. Your responsibilities in this role include:

• Stakeholder management and Product thinking - Ability to manage a large team and work with multiple Product, Design, and Data science partners across four different spaces: Content Rights, Music Rights, Copyright Protection, and Business and Legal Affairs.
• Manage, mentor, and grow early career talent. Engineering fundamentals and basic coaching on best practices are a necessity.
• Develop an Engineering culture that is Product-focused, and opinionated, that connects the dots between Product opportunity and leverage across the Studio ecosystem.
• Ability to operate and drive the Product forward when our product management partners are stretched thin. This ability ensures progress and innovation even in the absence of product direction.
• Recognize key contributions from the team and partners to keep them engaged and motivated in a space that is critical for Netflix’s business. The ability to elevate their work to keep leadership aware of the team's contributions and impact is crucial.
• Foster a strong accountability culture in the team and help them reliably and in a timely manner deliver their roadmap to support the needs of key business stakeholders.
• Act as a credible technical advisor to the team; help the team make thoughtful, informed decisions in ambiguous situations.
• Connect the dots across peer teams to selflessly prioritize work beyond the scope of your own domain.

What are we looking for

• Experience growing large (12 engineers in the organization), high-performing engineering teams.

• Ability to deal with ambiguity while creating more clarity for the team.
• Ability to influence the strategic direction of partners and stakeholders.
• Strong technical background. The candidate will serve as a sounding board for technical decisions as well as be able to communicate those decisions across the organization.

Bonus Experience

• Ability to see through investments in AI work to transform Business and Legal Affairs workflows in deals, contracts & rights to surface insights, and connect the dots with adjacent systems using engineering influence.
• Experience working on applications related to Rights, Deals, Contracts, and other legal workflows.
• Experience building back-office applications for large entertainment or technology companies.
• Experience working with Contract Lifecycle Management tools.
