Why We Want You

As we focus on implementing our centralized design system on our Web platform and experiment with Server-Driven UI (SDUI) using GraphQL on the Web, TV, and Mobile, we're looking for an experienced software engineer, ideally with proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, design systems, and SDUI. You'll work with our team to expedite critical projects that will catalyze innovation and drive growth experiments and product launches. Does this sound exciting to you?

We value thoughtful engineers who lead with passion, resilience, a positive attitude, and a high degree of empathy. The following expectations are how we measure success for engineers joining the team. However, please note that we do not expect applicants to 100% meet our expectations as a prerequisite for an interview. Any gaps should be treated as growth opportunities once hired.

• Deliver team-level architecture and project impact, solve problems by leading projects for a few adjacent peers, and drive larger cross-functional projects.

• Own decisions regarding component, feature, or system-level quality, reliability, efficiency, and performance, balancing investments in each area.
• Demonstrate good judgment by applying engineering best practices (e.g., peer reviews, metrics, architecture design, documentation, farming for dissent, collecting input from the team and stakeholders, and weighing tradeoffs).
• Proactively describe complex technical issues and their impact (within your scope) to stakeholders.
• Eager for opportunities to learn, grow, lead by influence, develop, and mentor others.
• Understand the importance of gathering feedback, driving alignment, and finding the right balance between trade-offs.
• Effectively collaborate cross-functionally (e.g., sharing/receiving cross-team feedback, navigating dissent on their approach) on a project-level basis.
• Embody, contribute to, and shape the Netflix culture while holding colleagues to the same standard.
• Create environments where people of different backgrounds and experiences feel valued and encouraged to contribute their talents and perspectives.

• 5+ years of professional experience designing, building, and shipping software.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript & TypeScript.
• Experience with API development and consumption.
• Ability to design, architect, debug, test, and create well-documented code.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
• Familiarity with UI design systems and SDUI methodology.
• Hands-on experience with GraphQL using Apollo or similar, Redux, or modern React development using Hooks.

• Experience with or is interested in Mobile development.
