Netflix Senior Penetration Tester Interview Preparation Guide

Netflix's interview process for senior security roles typically consists of an initial recruiter screening, one to two technical phone screens to assess penetration testing fundamentals and security domain expertise, followed by 5-6 onsite rounds. Onsite interviews evaluate technical depth in offensive security, security architecture thinking, hands-on vulnerability assessment capabilities, system design for secure systems, behavioral alignment with Netflix culture, and cross-functional collaboration skills. The process emphasizes practical security knowledge, creative problem-solving in attack scenarios, and the ability to communicate complex security findings to non-technical stakeholders.
