Software Engineer

The Member Experience Client Foundations team builds the server-driven UI (SDUI) architecture and tooling that powers the member experience across Netflix’s iOS, Android, and TV apps. We build the schema, rendering, and data-access layers that let product engineers ship flexible, interactive features across Discovery, Playback, and Ads while championing consistency and performance across every client platform.

• Ads Team This team is responsible for delivering and evolving the platform for innovative, customizable ad experiences. They build frameworks for interactive formats and server-side ad insertion with seamless, targeted delivery. You’ll work with cross-functional partners to ensure ads are integrated in a performant and engaging way for our members., We’re looking for an Android engineer who’s comfortable owning a project end to end - scoping it, building it, shipping it - while leaning on a strong team to sharpen their judgment along the way. You’ll work with a modern Android stack (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, Dagger/Hilt, GraphQL) and get exposure to problems that only show up at Netflix’s scale: hundreds of millions of members, thousands of device types, and some of the largest live audiences on the internet.

What You’ll Do:

• Design, build, and ship Android features and infrastructure that members interact with directly, or that other Netflix engineers build on top of
• Write clean, testable, well-documented code, backed by automated tests (JVM unit, Espresso, and similar)
• Partner with product, design, and cross-functional engineering teams to scope work and weigh trade-offs
• Keep a pulse on modern Android tooling and practices, and help modernize the codebase you work in
• Use GenAI tools as part of your day-to-day workflow, and stay curious about how agentic workflows can speed up development
• Communicate proactively with your team and stakeholders - solid project management and estimation instincts go a long way here

• Solid understanding of Android development, with the ability to pick up new frameworks and paradigms quickly
• Strong coding skills in Kotlin (Java a plus), and comfort navigating adjacent stacks like GraphQL
• A track record of shipping real features - not just writing code that compiles
• You know there’s rarely one “right” answer - you weigh trade-offs and make calls with incomplete information
• You build relationships across teams through clear communication and genuine curiosity about other people’s problems
• You want to grow, and you want to help the people around you grow too

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Jetpack Compose, Circuit, Dagger/Hilt, or GraphQL
• Experience building or maintaining SDKs, developer tooling, or shared client frameworks
• Familiarity with high-scale or real-time systems (live streaming, ads, playback)
