Senior Product Designer, Design Foundations
Netflix, Los Gatos, California, United States, 95032
Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with 278 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 Role
Netflix’s business continues to expand in new ways to serve our global members. Whether it’s evolving how we offer best-in-class entertainment content to new forms that entertainment may take (games, live events, etc), as a global company it is important that we build high-quality infrastructure tailored to supporting innovation at scale.
About The Team
This role sits on the Design Foundations team, which is part of Core XD, a horizontal organization whose mission is to enable quality and innovation at scale. We have multiple sub-teams, each focused on a different aspect of this mission. We are accelerators and partners, with collaboration and the success of product teams at the heart of what we do.
About The Role
The Design Foundations team at Netflix is searching for a systems designer to help shape the next phase of Hawkins, our design system. As a System Designer on the team, you will collaborate closely with product design, engineering, content design, and design ops organizations. You should be passionate about delivering quality at scale and reimagining how designers and engineers work together to build scalable experiences.
What You’ll Do
Maintain and improve cross-platform component design libraries in Figma, based on user feedback.
Collaborate directly with cross-platform engineering teams to build components based on robust design specs.
Collaborate early and often with feature teams to solve real pain points and drive adoption of the system.
Create detailed design documentation to support design and engineering usage of Hawkins.
Build for accessibility upfront in the creative design process, and advocate for inclusive experiences across platforms.
Drive thoughtful engagement with our design community by participating in our operational programs like Office Hours.
The Must - Haves
5+ years of experience contributing to a Design System in Figma
Experience designing within Consumer products for Android, iOS, Web or TV platform
You foster an open, inclusive environment for others to provide feedback, share ideas, and crack challenging problems together.
You understand the basics of technical constraints and how to design iterative solutions to effectively partner with engineering teams.
You are passionate about design craft and attention to detail.
You are known as a strong communicator who articulates design rationale based on qualitative and quantitative data.
Bonus
Given the nature of design system work, system designers usually bring a unique skill set and superpower to the team. Have you worked on a motion system? Maybe you have an engineering background or perhaps you led accessibility efforts for a previous system? We are always looking for unique skill sets to augment the rest of the team and believe in the power of interdisciplinary thinking. We’d love to know your superpower!
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 $120,000 - $515,000.
We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity of thought and background 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 20 days and will be removed when the position is filled.
