The Role

We are part of the JS Platform organization, and we are champions for UI (browser) application teams at Netflix. Our mission is to empower them to easily create, share, and discover UI components and libraries. We help them focus on innovation by reducing the complexity of building and managing software. Developer experience runs deep in our DNA and influences every facet of our work.

We are one of three squads that comprise the larger JavaScript Platform team. Our focus for the next few years will be on the ''UI Paved Road'' aka the golden path, for UI Engineers at Netflix. We will build comprehensive tooling and technologies used by hundreds of engineers, and deliver developer happiness throughout the software development experience. We define our success by our ability to accelerate productivity across Netflix engineering.

The team anchors on the human-facing elements of technology emphasized in our Culture Memo and are applied in our day-to-day work. Code is a very small slice of this team's impact.

Responsibilities
• Development: Build scalable and efficient solutions for UI component discovery, publishing, and lifecycle management. Evangelize and drive the adoption of best practices in code health and quality
• Cross Functional Execution: Work closely with System Designers, UI Engineers, and other stakeholders to gather requirements, provide technical support, and ensure alignment with technical best practices
• Documentation and Training: Create comprehensive documentation to empower development teams to effectively use the UI Paved Road
• Ecosystem Shepherding: Follow industry trends and emerging technologies, continually seek opportunities to evolve UI Paved Road tooling functionality and performance

Required Skills
• Front End Dev & Tooling: Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, HTML/CSS, and related technologies
• Component Library Experience: Experience building and maintaining UI component libraries
• Communication & Influence: Ability to impact culture; being an advocate for reducing developer overhead and a passion for motivating and inspiring others to contribute

Why Join Us?
• Be at the forefront of defining how UI developers at Netflix discover, publish, and use shareable components
• Work with a passionate and talented international team!
