Full Time Job
Netflix is the leading provider of streaming video, a lot of it original content: features, shorts, series, documentaries, comedy specials and unscripted content. Optimizing content quality and longevity without compromising efficiency across all types of projects presents significant challenges, but that's what the Studio Technologies team does by setting technical requirements and best practices, driving new industry standards, creating new tools and providing direct support to Netflix Original Productions.
As Netflix produces more and more programming around the world, leveraging new video and audio technology, we are scaling to support the needs of diverse creative teams. As part of the Studio Technologies group, you will help guide picture, audio and archival specifications, explore new technology and define best practices for documentary and unscripted Netflix Originals, from capture through post-production and distribution.
The Studio Technologies Team
Staying up-to-date with the most advanced developments in professional and consumer motion picture and sound technology and practices, evaluating their applicability to our goals, and supporting their implementation: this is our everyday. Our engineers are subject matter experts who offer varied yet overlapping backgrounds in motion picture production, post-production and distribution - image science, editorial, color correction, image capture, encoding, compression, storage, video, audio... We collaborate with the crews as well as our internal production, post-production, distribution, marketing and development teams, advising on technical decisions, setting best practices, detailing and explaining specifications. We also consult with manufacturers, advocating for the needs of our creative talent and business.
Quite often, our team is the link between the product (''Netflix the OTT Service'') and the content (''Netflix the Studio'') on matters of video and audio technology.
