Job description

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting‑edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

The Client and Partner Technologies (CPT) team builds tools and services to scale the Netflix application platform to over half a billion devices while maintaining high quality standards. The Ecosystem and Operational Insights team within CPT is looking for a senior full‑stack engineer with a front‑end focus to help us revamp our suite of developer productivity tools.

This team accelerates the software developer lifecycle at Netflix by building tools and services that improve feedback loops and enable confident code delivery. We work closely with our device labs which span iOS, Android, TV and web platforms, to provide reliable, real‑world validation at scale.

We are looking for versatile specialists who think beyond implementation details, who can empathize with fellow developers, challenge assumptions, and help shape the "why" behind what we build. You should bring a strong perspective on product direction and design, not just execution, and be comfortable working at the intersection of user experience, design, and modern web application development.

You will excel if you are comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with innovation, can deliver scalable technical solutions, remove technical debt, make strategic decisions for long‑term effectiveness, and approach problems with a curiosity‑driven lens.

What you will do:

• Drive new technical solutions across teams, from system design to deployment
• Design, build, and refine custom developer tooling from the ground up, providing insights that go beyond those available in off‑the‑shelf business intelligence dashboards
• Revamp and update existing tools and services for integration into developer workflows
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across the stack, including back‑end services, to ensure smooth operation and high reliability of our tools
• Work with our product manager, design team, and stakeholders across Netflix to gather insights, identify opportunities, and define solutions that will scope and shape our product decisions
• Operate in a cross‑functional and dynamic environment where you will collaborate and learn with colleagues from a variety of technical domains and backgrounds to achieve the common goal of entertaining the world

What we are looking for:

• 7+ years of experience in a software development role
• Demonstrable technical expertise to critically evaluate front‑end architectures and user experience flows, form well‑reasoned recommendations for the best path forward, and navigate ambiguity by iteratively refining solutions based on stakeholder feedback and evolving requirements
• Strong full‑stack development skills with an emphasis in front‑end UI work focused on building scalable, maintainable, and high‑quality developer tools
• Experience with at least several UI frameworks
• Deep experience with React & GraphQL
• Strong programming skills in JavaScript, TypeScript, and experience with Java and Node.js
• Experience collaborating closely with designers to translate UX/UI designs into delightful developer experiences
• Ability to learn and leverage in‑house software frameworks/components/services to build scalable solutions
• Outstanding communicators who are curious, flexible, and selfless

Generally, 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 $388,000.00 - $558,000.00.

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.

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.
