Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Why Netflix is betting on systems thinkers—not specialists—in the AI era | Elizabeth Stone (CPTO) · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

We are still hiring junior people and they're really important to our talent strategy.

So we still have an intern program.

We still have a new grad program, which was new for us as of a few years ago.

So prior to a few years ago, we were only hiring more experienced talent across all the functions.

Now we do hire people straight from undergrad and graduate programs and we'll continue to do that.

So even in a world of AI where some things are easier, we were talking earlier about

Mindset, AI fluency.

From my experience, younger folks are more open-minded.

They tend to be more native in some of these new ways of working.

For a company like Netflix, they're also very fluent in how entertainment is changing.

how consumer behaviors are changing, how product and tech is influencing that in the products that they're using.

That's really important to have on our team.

So there's the part of the persona which is who are you as a new grad who's an engineer, but there's also who are you as someone who's in their early 20s and has a perspective on the world that is highly valuable and a comfort with the way the world is changing.

So that's why I say it's a critical part of our talent strategy.

to the, okay, so you step into the role and you have AI tools that didn't exist five or 10 years ago, I would say mastery of the craft is still very important.

So going back to as the team member, I am responsible for the quality of code that I am submitting for production.

I'm responsible for the quality of products that I'm building, how they are designed, what that user consumer experience is, none of that is going away.

So if I think about more junior or earlier career talent on the teams,

We need to be investing just as much in the mentorship of this is what good looks like.

This is how you use these tools, but you still take accountability for what the outcomes are, what the quality of the output is.
