Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services with over 230 million paid memberships in over 190 countries. In addition to great shows and movies, our membership also includes exclusive access to a growing portfolio of high-quality games. The games platform team is looking for a Technical Program Manager to strengthen our member discovery capabilities in Netflix’s relatively nascent opportunity in games.

The game discovery Technical Program Manager will partner closely with the Product Manager to drive impactful cross-functional programs both within the games platform and across the company.
