Description

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 Team

The TV Client Foundations team aims to provide a holistic, world-class experience for creating TV applications, including Netflix’s flagship streaming app. We enable engineers to deliver product initiatives that bring joy to people worldwide by focusing on a high-quality, high-velocity, joyful developer experience.

We’re passionate about UI, ergonomics, performance, and high-quality developer experiences. We partner closely with UI Engineering, Design, Platform, and tooling teams to delight millions of customers worldwide on hundreds of different TV devices, from game consoles to smart TVs to cable boxes.

We celebrate diversity of identities, ideas, backgrounds, and experiences. We believe our best work stems from fostering safety & trust and enabling each of us to be our authentic selves. We selflessly use our unique strengths to support one another and help each other grow.

We have a distributed team with teammates across the US. While some of us are in person, the team is committed to ensuring remote work is a collaborative and productive experience for everyone, regardless of where you commit code.

The Roles

We are looking to hire two different roles within the team

Server-Driven Experiences

This role is focused on the client side of server-client contracts that aim to unlock dynamic new experiences. The role offers an opportunity to impact an exciting scope of work that spans enabling new member experiences, expanding the capabilities of existing frameworks, extending component libraries, and defining APIs we use to deliver business-critical features. We’re looking for candidates who have designed and integrated server-client API contracts or server-driven UIs that have been used to power production experiences, and who value investing in telemetry to improve quality.

Device Technology Integrations

This role will have the opportunity to enable a new generation of Netflix experiences by integrating new TV technologies into the UI framework. The scope includes explorations beyond JavaScript (like Lua, C++, or Shaders), and influencing the underlying TV platform. This candidate should be skilled in designing performance-focused UI architectures to improve startup speed, efficiently manage resources, and scale to support new technology integrations. We’re looking for candidates who will drive the identification and execution of metrics-driven opportunities to optimize memory and performance, enabling exciting new experiences.

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.

  • Unique Technical Problems: While our stack is primarily JavaScript and TypeScript, you’ll build on our custom TV platform with unique constraints and capabilities.

  • Collaboration and Communication: It’s not all about the tech. We highly value the skills required to build strong relationships and collaborate effectively.

  • Freedom, Responsibility, Ownership: We believe in providing engineers with the business context they need and giving them the freedom and responsibility to define project scope, define/debate architecture, identify trade-offs, and figure out the implementation details.

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

What Sets You Apart

  • You’re passionate about writing elegantly designed, maintainable, performant software.

  • You enjoy pushing the boundaries of what technology can do and exploring uncharted waters.

  • You love to empower other engineers and strive to understand their use cases.

  • Colleagues appreciate the unique perspectives and balanced views you bring to collaborations.

  • You value the perspective of others when identifying solutions.

  • You know there is rarely one ‘right’ solution, and you make thoughtful trade-offs.

  • You understand that our goal is to solve problems, and a language, framework, or library is a means to an end.

Our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $100,000 - $720,000. 

Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs.  Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off. Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off. See more details about our Benefits here.

Inclusion is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates. If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.

Job is open for no less than 7 days and will be removed when the position is filled.

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
