Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 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.

Commerce Engineering at Netflix is responsible for driving the continued growth of Netflix’s subscriber base and increasing the value we derive from each member. Our work helps users discover and sign up for Netflix and maintain their Netflix service. We collaborate with cross-functional teams on initiatives focused on acquisition, retention, plans and pricing, user identity, customer support, and more. Additionally, we build and maintain foundational systems powering all billing, payments processing, identity, and the consumer web application platform at Netflix.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a driven Web Software Engineer to join our Client API Foundations Team. Our team’s goal is to build frameworks and components that enable innovation for product engineers across the company while collaborating with curious, supportive teammates who are passionate about finding smarter, more elegant solutions.

This role will primarily focus on Web and require proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, along with experience in GraphQL and server-driven UI patterns. You’ll tackle complex engineering challenges, take ownership of key features, and contribute to the technical direction of scalable systems that support the broader Netflix commerce platform, with an emphasis on interoperability and performance.

Growth here isn’t just possible, it’s a natural part of the journey. As the team evolves to meet new challenges, you’ll find yourself learning and creating ergonomic solutions that empower UI engineers to easily access data, configure applications, build server-driven UIs, and optimize performance by addressing both client-side and server-side challenges.

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

If you’re excited by the idea of multiplying your impact, solving foundational problems, and growing alongside a team that values both technical excellence and empathy, this is where your next chapter begins.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain reusable UI architecture and frameworks that product engineers can leverage across the iOS, tvOS, Android, TV, and Web client platforms

  • Weigh business, product, and architectural trade-offs to guide your technical decisions

  • Collaborate with a broad set of client, server, foundational, and product engineers across Netflix

  • Support product engineers using your solutions and help ensure a reliable production experience

Skills & Qualifications

  • 3–6 years of professional experience designing, building, and shipping software

  • Proficient in JavaScript, TypeScript, and React

  • Experience with GraphQL and server-driven UI patterns

  • Strong understanding of component-based architecture and state management

  • Effective communicator and collaborator

  • Knowledge of testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines

  • Able to design, architect, debug, test, and create well-documented code

Bonus:

  • Experience with cross-platform development

  • Exposure to experimentation or A/B Testing

  • Contributions to an open-source project

What Sets You Up for Success

  • You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with engineers, product managers, and designers.

  • You have deep experience managing large-scale APIs and web applications, and can clearly convey project status, risks, and dependencies to a range of stakeholders.

  • You champion best practices and are eager to explore and adopt new technologies.

  • You bring hands-on experience as a UI engineer, with a strong understanding of server-driven UIs.

  • You care about performance, reliability, and metrics, and are motivated to improve them.

  • You’re curious, adaptable, and ready to influence decisions that impact millions of users and billions of requests.

  • You excel in ambiguous environments, managing your time and priorities independently.
