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.
