Job description

The role is focused on Android development within the Member Experience Client Foundations team at Netflix, which is responsible for building the server-driven UI architecture for various client platforms. The team aims to deliver flexible and scalable solutions that enhance the member experience across Netflix's applications. The position requires expertise in Android UI architecture while also allowing exploration of UI development on other platforms. The ideal candidate will drive best practices and collaborate with cross-functional teams to influence the framework and architecture vision.

Requirements

  • Deep understanding of the technical landscape of Android development.
  • Strong engineering aptitude with the ability to introduce new paradigms and practices.
  • Experience in leading projects and delivering results with excellent project management skills.
  • Ability to identify opportunities and drive technical solutions with minimal supervision.
  • Appreciation for diverse perspectives and a collaborative approach to problem-solving.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and build maintainable, performant Android client code with effective documentation.
  • Define and drive best practices to ensure consistency, reliability, and simplicity in the codebase.
  • Leverage modern technologies such as Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and GraphQL to deliver scalable solutions.
  • Develop code for testability and write automated tests to uphold product quality.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners to define and deliver on the framework and architecture vision.
  • Mentor and grow less-experienced Android engineers.
  • Influence framework and architecture roadmaps with forward-looking technical solutions.

Benefits

  • Employees at Netflix are often offered flexible, people-first benefits—unlimited time away, generous parental leave, global family-forming support, mental-health programs (mindfulness, free counseling/coaching), and health coverage tailored by country. Financially, Netflix pays at personal top-of-market and lets employees choose their mix of cash vs. fully-vested 10-year stock options, alongside donation and volunteer matching. Convenience perks can include trust-based travel/expense policies, relocation support, and “Work, Not Drive” rideshare flexibility.
