Netflix's Bill Scott blogs that he's looking for a Sr. Web UI Engineer for Customer Service Engineering.
The person in this role will be part of the Customer Services Engineering Team as well as a member of my Netflix Web UI Engineering team. Since much of the work is greenfield you will have the opportunity to help design the user experience as well as build the web applications. In addition, the Netflix UI framework that the site runs on is shared with these applications. As such you will help flesh out this framework as we go forward.
> Since much of the work is greenfield

If I'm not mistaken, greenfield means you get to create something from scratch, either because it's brand new or because you can discard whatever they're already using.
The opposite involves enhancing something that's already in place, without breaking anything. It's not only harder, it's constraining, and a lot less fun.
