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.

Building a cross-platform UI architecture to support customer lifecycle flows (Signup, Login, Account Management, etc.)
