The Role 

This role will have the opportunity to enable a new generation of Netflix experiences by expanding the capabilities of our TV platform. This candidate should be skilled in designing performance-focused UI architectures to support numerous use cases, scale across 100+ engineers, efficiently manage resources, and enable new technology integrations. We’re looking for candidates who balance developer experience and ergonomics with performance and scalability. This candidate is comfortable applying systems thinking to application architecture and is actively engaged in the industry trends and technologies that support scalable UIs. This candidate is also someone who isn’t afraid to dive into the inner workings of technologies to understand how they work to improve their performance and interfaces. 

You 

Our team members excel when they are curious, growth-oriented, and collaborative. We take a customer-centric approach to our work, so listening, learning, and adapting are essential. We assume good intent and consistently seek to improve ourselves and our solutions. There are no absolutes, and we must remain flexible to meet the needs of our customers and the business, so “strong opinions loosely held” is a valued attribute within the team. 

If this resonates with you, we’d love to talk! 

Other useful experience: 

TypeScript/JavaScript 

React, Preact, Inferno, etc 

GraphQL or similar data access solutions 

API design 

Performance profiling 

What’s Different About Us 

Scale, Impact: You’ll enable over 70 engineers to create best-in-class streaming UIs used by hundreds of millions of members across a broad spectrum of devices worldwide.

Our Culture: Lastly, but most importantly, we live by our values.
