Entertainment is entering its next era of innovation. Netflix has published a great deal about the role innovation plays in shaping the way we enjoy the entertainment we love. Our Tech Blog, research papers, and a steady run of speaking engagements put that work in public view every year, and our engineering audience finds it. The audience we haven’t reached yet feels the difference in using Netflix without seeing what produced it: designers, founders, reporters, and the wider group of people shaping where technology and culture intersect.
This opportunity calls for an editor with unusual range. You can read a technical paper on NeurIPS and come out with a headline, and you carry that incredible instinct to everything else you take in: an hour at vowels research library, an afternoon at magCulture, a thread on r/singularity where people are debating the next decade in real time. You can write about technology and are curious about it, without sounding out of touch with who the technology is for.
The job is putting that judgment to work at scale. The role runs an editorial operation: an editorial calendar our teams plan around, a review process an engineer will trust with their first paper, resilient standards, and a vision for how these stories reach people through conventional and unconventional channels.
We’re hiring for judgment about what we publish, when, in what form, and who it should reach. Where you built that judgment is industry agnostic. If your background doesn’t map exactly to the description below, we encourage you to apply anyway.
The Manager, Product & Technology Editorial will lead the editorial strategy and day-to-day execution across our owned technology channels, including our Tech Blog. You will drive the editorial standards and cadence for our Tech Blog, own the operational process for reviewing published papers and external speaking engagements, and partner closely with our Social and Editorial Communications leads to amplify our product and technology narratives beyond traditional press for launches.
You will partner closely with engineers and researchers publishing technical work and the broader Product & Technology Communications team to ensure our external channels consistently reflect a clear, elevated, and distinctly Netflix point of view on technology and innovation.
The role is based in our Los Angeles or New York office, with the potential to be remote for the right candidate.
