Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.
The GX Client Ecosystem team builds UI architecture and frameworks that product engineers can leverage across the iOS, tvOS, Android, TV, and Web client platforms.
This specific role will be focused on iOS and tvOS, requiring expertise with iOS UI architecture and frameworks. However, we believe strong engineering aptitude transcends stacks, and providing the opportunity to explore architecture on other platforms is a unique aspect of this role.
We’re currently building solutions with Swift on iOS, Kotlin on Android, and JavaScript/TypeScript and React on TV & Web. We use GraphQL as our shared data access technology.
We provide ergonomic solutions for UI engineers to access data, configure applications, create server-driven UIs and optimize performance. We work on client side and server side solutions - wherever a problem takes us.
Some of the things we’re excited to be working on currently:
Building a cross-platform UI architecture to support customer lifecycle flows (Signup, Login, Account Management, etc)
Creating a Server Driven UI architecture that accelerates product experimentation
The Team
Join Netflix's revolution in entertainment as part of our Growth Experiences Client Ecosystem (GXCE) team. We're pioneering the future of member experiences, and we want you on board. The GXCE team is a cornerstone in our commerce engineering strategy, empowering rapid innovation and adaptivity in customer acquisition, scalable commerce, and revenue growth. Our formula for success is straightforward: we expedite commerce experiments and product feature launches while reducing cognitive load and fostering autonomy by building an ecosystem of client frameworks and tools across Web, Mobile, and TV platforms, promoting a learning culture, and innovating based on collaborative relationships.
Our long-term goals are to:
Provide and maintain a paved path that fulfills our purpose and mission.
Integrate best practices and standards into our paved path.
Promote effective partnerships and collaborations across Web, Mobile, and TV platforms.
Become customer advocates – fostering a feedback-rich environment, acting as proxies for complex services, providing comprehensive education, training materials, and documentation, and staying updated with technological advancements to anticipate customer needs.
We evaluate our success through:
Developer experience and satisfaction.
Our ability to meet and exceed customer expectations.
The velocity, volume, and efficiency of experimentation and productization.
Our ability to reduce technical debt and optimize engineering practices.
Why We Want You
As we focus on implementing our centralized design system on our iOS Apps (Streaming and Games) 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 Swift/Objective C, SwiftUI/UIKit, 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.
Expectations
Use your expertise and experience to identify and solve complex problems by driving new or improving existing solutions that positively impact the team’s scope of work.
Deliver team-level architecture and project impact, solve problems by leading projects for a few adjacent peers, and drive larger cross-functional projects.
Improve efficiency, perform strategic migrations, deprecate or decommission systems, reduce complexity, and selflessly avoid local simplifications that export complexity to other teams.
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.
