What You Will Do

• Lead the UX and UI design of proprietary tools that enable game developers and partners to integrate features and services into their games, and launch their games on Netflix.

• Identify, research, and drive individual design initiatives –  down to the details to the holistic user journey – while navigating a complex set of user problems and business requirements. 

• Collaborate with a team of designers, engineers, product managers, technical writers, UX writers, UX researchers, and other stakeholders to develop new concepts and improve our suite of tools and features. 

• Work with our established design systems, and also contribute and innovate on new design components specific for our tools and unique needs.

• Present your design work and strategy to key stakeholders and team members for visibility and feedback.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years as a Product Designer (or equivalent experience) in the B2B2C space, leading high-impact initiatives from concept to execution

• A passionate energy for great design and amplifying our team culture

• A versatile portfolio that showcases deep interaction and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work autonomously, make strategic decisions independently, and drive clarity within ambiguous problem spaces

• Understanding of complex workflows designed to scale across diverse, global operations teams

• Experience contributing to and consuming component-based design systems

• Excellent communication and people skills that excite stakeholders and articulate a vision

• Ability to work Pacific Time Zone hours and travel occasionally to California in order to collaborate with team members and stakeholders

Even Better

• Experience with game development, game platforms, game tools, and game developer personas

• Experience working with complex internal systems, partner-facing platforms, and highly technical environments (like API platforms)

Why You’ll Love Our Team

• A business environment that’s big on individual responsibility and efficient process

• Work with stunning, supportive designers on problems that matter

• Remote flexibility to balance work-from-home and in-office work, so long as you’re able to be onsite for meaningful moments of collaboration (when safe)

• Freedom and flexibility to craft your own design workflow, while harnessing Netflix’s world-class design system and tooling

• An inclusive environment to help you do your best work and feel genuinely supported

• Being empowered to imagine what games on Netflix could be and create new work streams and tools to enable the best game developers in the world
