Who We Are

The Membership & Commerce Entitlements (MCE) team orchestrates flows and manages the subscription state of all Netflix customers. We are directly involved in various member flows like signup, plan change, upsells, cancellations, renewals, etc. We are responsible for highly critical Tier-0 systems that have millions of RPS and that drive experience for all 330M+ members worldwide.

What You Will Work On
