This job posting is exciting for two reasons:

1 - If its legit (and why wouldn't it be) This is at least tells us Netflix wants to be on Android and is trying to work it out. Not sure when its going to happen though, but at least they're trying.

2 - I'm not much of a techie, but if I was this sounds like a great position. I'm sure some of you guys/gals patrolling XDA (who live in the SF Bay Area) might just be perfect for this job :)

I would especially love that line close to the bottom:

We pay top of market for top talent. We work to attract the best and brightest and pay accordingly.
