Gulmahamad is based out of the streaming service's headquarters in Los Angeles, and recently shared her thoughts on the role with Fast Company.
She says that she watches up to 20 hours of Netflix content a week - including shows, movies and specials - and then has to tag each of the items so it's categorised correctly and easy to find.
So, basically, the Netflix taggers are how the streaming service is able to give those incredibly detailed recommendations.
Gulmahamad explained that this method of categorising "speaks more to the soul of a title".
She told the publication:
"We work with a sprawling palette of tones and storylines to capture the spirit of our content, and when it comes to those sorts of tags, we can be more editorial. "We have every storyline under the sun for supernatural content and it always cracks me up — zombies, witches, dragons, cannibals, Bigfoot, mad scientists, mutants, magical creatures, angels, demons, and even ‘evil kids'."
She joined the company back in 2006, when they were still a DVD delivery company - and, despite the small downsides (like needed to 'reset' from all screens every once in awhile), it sounds like her job is a dream come true.
She continued:
“Netflix came along like my Cinderella slipper–here was a company that would value my knowledge and offer me a stable, supportive working environment. “Even when I am watching really long pieces of content, it always blows my mind that this is actually my job.”
