We are building products that power Netflix's recommendations (click here), help with creating engaging copy, workflow for video assets, and tools for global product. We need your unique talent and passion to take our business-to-business applications to the next level.

About Us

Although Netflix is an established company, in many ways we still act like a start up. You'll work in a bullpen with your team and exchange ideas and hypotheses, rapidly testing in real-time. We'll make decisions based on collecting data and observing how our users interact with our product.

The organization is flat, process is minimal, individual responsibility is big, and there is an emphasis on keeping non-productive influences out of the everyday decision process. Upholding these philosophies will be imperative as we execute our aggressive plan of global expansion over the next few years.

About You

You're truly talented and obsess about reducing complexity. You are recognized by your colleagues as a go-to person and you raise the average of every team you've joined.

You are comfortable thinking inductively and deductively. You think big picture and small wins all within the same cycle. You can articulately describe large systems and express the most appropriate of details. You have exceptional communication skills. You know how to work cross-functionally with multiple teams, as well as make your ideas and data clear to get everyone on the same page.

Finally, you have tremendous visual skills and the ability to tell a story. You solve interactive, three dimensional problems in time and space, and are passionate about taking existing art and bringing out its best pieces while adding your own innovative ideas. You know how to take complicated workflows and make them elegant. You have the patience to take any hodge-podge of Engineering art and build something magical.

Our team hasn't yet experienced the gestalt state that can come from having the influence of a truly inspirational designer. We've built the underlying systems that allow product innovation. We know it can be even better-with your help.

The Must Haves:

- 5+ years design on consumer-friendly interactive experiences
- A great portfolio that showcases deep visual and interaction design skills
- Comfortable simplifying very complicated workflows
- Ability to rapidly ideate and produce multiple UX/UI concepts
- Eye for detail
- The communication skills to clearly articulate your concepts-and evangelize on their behalf
- Experience across the entire product lifecycle and have lived through multiple launches (experience with international launches is a plus)
- BA/BS in fine arts, graphic arts, human factors or related field
- A passion for movies and TV shows.
