About Security Platforms Engineering (SPE)
The Security Platforms Engineering (SPE) team builds and operates foundational and scaled security services for Netflix, including asset inventory, vulnerability management, risk insights and a unified security experience. Our goal is to ensure strong foundations and resiliency to security threats, and we help Netflix be a place where security controls scale automatically, critical risks are systematically reduced, and our workforce is empowered to make confident, risk-informed decisions.

We are expanding our team in Poland to help build and support our Vulnerability Management (VM) program, which owns vulnerability visibility, triage, and remediation for assets across Netflix’s ecosystem. 

The role is remote for candidates located in Poland.

We are hiring 5 Security Software Engineers across two complementary profiles to build a team to support security foundational services across vulnerability management and visibility.

You will be working with other teams and stakeholders within Security and across Netflix, including fellow engineers, product managers, security experts, internal customers, and more. 

We are looking for stunning colleagues who enable our mission and support our culture.
