I found two job postings on craigslist for product management positions at Netflix:
Director, Product Management - Previously Viewed Films.
Director, Product Management - Ratings and Recommendations.
This one sounded interesting, so I took a look at the job description:
The Director of Product Management for Ratings and Recommendations will lead a strategically important business area for Netflix. The ideal candidate will:• Clearly package and communicate Netflix’s recommendations and ratings system, encouraging users to rate more movies and genres, in order for them to get more accurate, highly personalized recommendations, and consequently provide more movie enjoyment for these customers.
• Work with engineers to explore and define new algorithmic approaches to enable increasingly personalized and relevant recommendations for Netflix members.
• Explore alternative UI approaches to the underlying “Cinematch” technology in order to present Netflix’s members with a suite of highly personalized selection tools.
Looks like Netflix is planning to enhance and update the "Cinematch" recommendation engine, and possibly add some new features.
If you're looking for work, Netflix and Blockbuster are hiring.
