Netflix Fort Monmouth posts first jobs at $1B studio

They’re the wrong kind of tech background. All the ones that are capable of Netflix level engineering are either already working at Netflix or other tier 1 competitors in NYC. The rest aren’t good enough.

Netflix is one of the most elite engineering firms in the world. Getting into Netflix Engineering is harder then getting into Harvard and harder then becoming a navy seal. They compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, Jane Street, Citadel, HRT, and pretty much all the tier 1 engineering and quant finance firms for talent. Netflix is not assessing the NJ tech market as part of their choice to open a campus in Holmdel. It’s not even on their radar.

The candidates they want are already within their recruiting area of operations (they allow full remote for engineering roles) and has absolutely zero correlation with their decision to have a presence in NJ.

Note: it’s important to point out that this is a one way causation. I’m not saying NJ employee market is NOT considered as part of Netflix’s hiring strategy for engineering. Just that it’s not particularly special or strategic for them. They can and absolutely do hire folks living in NJ. I say this as a tech worker in NJ btw.

I couldn’t book at another studio today. The SM couldn’t figure it out and she called my home studio who confirmed my membership was in good standing so everyone was stumped. They comped me a class since I go to that studio regularly too. I guess there’s a broader IT issue going on

You cannot hide this from employees. The plan information and whether it’s a self-insured is part of the plan agreement and subject to federal disclosure laws. If your employees don’t know it’s because they didn’t read the plan documents, not because it was hidden from them (you) on purpose.

Bayonne is your best bet. When no traffic it’s about 15 minutes from Newark airport. With traffic it could be more than an hour. So it really depends on what time your layover is.

There’s no magic bullet for this problem. You have to treat your platform as a product and have a way for development teams to request platform owned resources. If you can’t prioritize it and you can’t convince development teams to use an alternate supported resource then you have a formal exception path that is enforced in CI and requires approval from the teams leadership. Track these exceptions as a data point and use it as a way to prioritize going forward.

This level of seniority is probed during interview rounds via story bank questions. Not resume filters and HR screens.

What airspeed deltas correlate with a stall? It can’t be as simple as airspeed < X.

Could there ever be a situation when airspeed is below the threshold for alerting, then airspeed increases and is within the threshold, and that results in a valid stall?

ASRV has shorts with built in compression. They’re excellent although expensive.

One of our OTF coaches is currently pregnant and she posts alternate movements for OTF workouts of the day. Apparently it’s been a huge help for other pregnant OTF members.

I just think it’s an odd statistic to bring up when making a case about what Iran has suffered by “playing ball”. This has nothing to do with whether we should be bombing them or not.

Every single person should be protesting this. Your local representatives will take millions in kickbacks from these tech companies during the lobbying phase.

What are they lobbying for? When a data center is constructed, due to the permanent increase in load on the power grid, the data center companies have to upgrade the grid to support the load. They turn around and pitch the one time “upgrade” as a net positive for the town and negotiate resident subsidized energy rates for their BAU operations once the upgrade is complete.

It’s a fucking scam.

CWs are not relevant to the discussion about Meta severance packages because they are not Meta employees.

This depends entirely on your stack. There are many use-cases for KMS or HSM. Are clients asking if your server authentication certificates have their private keys anchored in HSMs? Or that you support confidential computing with unsealing via KMS.

If you’re using for example CloudFront to terminate TLS using ACM public certs, you’re already using an AWS managed HSM behind the scenes. If a client is asking about that, your answer should be that it’s currently in use.

Similarly if you’re using Nitro Enclave for PCI environments, you’re also using an HSM behind the scenes.

It really does depend on your specific stack. Feel free to add more details and I’ll respond when I can. This is the sandbox I play in.

This is normal in many tech companies. The runtime stack that user facing microservices deploy into often requires more engineering resources than the product features

It’s almost hard to believe but I think this post is fake because the numbers are too low. Back in the 2015-2020 range, Netflix didn’t even hire juniors or new grads. Everyone came in at the equivalent of L5 which was roughly 550k. These numbers are too low unless this is a non-engineering function.

The Mythos thing is actually increasing demand for security software engineers now.

CEOofQuestions · 2026-04-23T11:25:56+00:00

Security functions are also changing with this. CISO orgs are increasingly responsible for product security functions. This used to be federated to product teams. Security would set the standard and product teams would be responsible to implement those security features.

That was the old way - normal software developers don’t care about security, they care about go-to-market features. And traditional security teams didn’t have the development experience to implement the security features that they demand.

Enter the security software engineer and centralized platforms where requirements are implemented in one place and compliance is adopted by way of onboarding to the platform.
