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
This role is on the Experience Design (XD) Member team, focusing on mobile. The XD Member team is responsible for the core member experience worldwide, creating personalized entertainment experiences that connect people with stories they’ll love. The team designs the end-to-end member experience from the moment someone joins Netflix, focusing on Search and Mobile platform solutions. This role specifically targets emerging and experimental consumer-facing Search, mobile, and AI experiences powered by machine learning to maximize member satisfaction.
About You
You will bring the transformative potential of the mobile platform and search to delight members in our mission to entertain the world. This is an opportunity to lead innovative product design with a demonstrable impact on a global scale. Using your full range of interaction, visual, and product-thinking skills on mobile and web, you’ll lead and own product features. You balance a passion for simplifying complex systems through design thinking, prototyping, and creating highly functional and emotionally resonant experiences with a strong desire to understand user behavior and business success. You’re comfortable switching between vision-level, defining UX frameworks, and hands-on pixel-level work. You’ll partner with cross-functional teams to revolutionize how entertainment is consumed and how storytelling is showcased by delivering engaging, inclusive experiences to members.
You’ll thoughtfully question the status quo and look closely at how we can push the user experience further with emerging technologies. You thrive in uncharted territories where design hasn’t historically found itself or where the rules and engagements aren’t already established. You’ll define strategies and design solutions that will bring this vision to life, then work with cross-functional partners to execute against it.

Design and build new mobile experiences for Netflix.
Identify and define product opportunities and create elegantly simple solutions to complex problems.
Drive a human-centered design process from concept to launch.
Clearly communicate design rationale and iterations to partners and stakeholders.
Articulate a vision and contribute to strategic decisions around the future direction of mobile member experiences across entertainment types.
Collaborate with a cross-functional team spanning consumer research, data science, product management, and engineering to test, iterate, and launch features.
Learn and explore the fast-evolving technical landscape to solve member problems.
Provide systems thinking for large-scale design systems, both strategically and tactically.
Employ storytelling to present a vision and create a shared understanding of the UX strategy with the broader team.
Champion our members and a global-first mindset.
Give and solicit feedback to continually raise the bar for quality and craft.
Embrace our culture of experimentation and A/B testing.
