Software Engineer (L4) - UI Rendering & Performance
The Team
The TV Client Foundations team aims to provide a holistic, world-class experience for creating TV applications, including Netflix’s flagship streaming app. We enable engineers to deliver product initiatives that bring joy to people worldwide by focusing on a high-quality, high-velocity, joyful developer experience.
We’re passionate about UI, ergonomics, performance, and high-quality developer experiences. We partner closely with UI Engineering, Design, Platform, and tooling teams to delight millions of customers worldwide on hundreds of different TV devices, from game consoles to smart TVs to cable boxes.
We celebrate diversity of identities, ideas, backgrounds, and experiences. We believe our best work stems from fostering safety & trust and enabling each of us to be our authentic selves. We selflessly use our unique strengths to support one another and help each other grow.
We have a distributed team with teammates across the US. While some of us are in person, the team is committed to ensuring remote work is a collaborative and productive experience for everyone, regardless of where you commit code.
The Role
This role is focused on creating UI components and informing UI architecture through a graphics and performance lens.
While the role is UI and performance-focused, the team supports an exciting scope of work that spans unlocking TV capabilities, integrating UI frameworks, enhancing devex through tools & workflows, improving performance & quality, creating component libraries, connecting with design systems, and defining platform patterns & practices. We believe in creating opportunities to contribute beyond roles and across team lines, and the breadth of scope in the team is full of opportunities to explore and grow.
You
Our team members excel when they are curious, growth-oriented, and collaborative. We take a customer-centric approach to our work, so listening, learning, and adapting are essential. We assume good intent and consistently seek to improve ourselves and our solutions. There are no absolutes, and we must remain flexible to meet the needs of our customers and the business, so “strong opinions loosely held” is a valued attribute within the team.
If this resonates with you, we’d love to talk!
Some useful experience includes (though we don’t expect you’ll match all of these)
- WebGPU, WebGL, or similar graphics experience
- Performance benchmarking and debugging
- TypeScript/JavaScript experience
- React experience
- Motion graphics experience
- Balancing performance and ergonomics
- Game development experience
What’s Different About Us
- Scale, Impact: You’ll enable over 70 engineers to create best-in-class streaming UIs used by hundreds of millions of members across a broad spectrum of devices worldwide.
- Unique Technical Problems: While our stack is primarily JavaScript and TypeScript, you’ll build on our custom TV platform with unique constraints and capabilities.
- Collaboration and Communication: It’s not all about the tech. We highly value the skills required to build strong relationships and collaborate effectively.
- Freedom, Responsibility, Ownership: We believe in providing engineers with the business context they need and giving them the freedom and responsibility to define project scope, define/debate architecture, identify trade-offs, and figure out the implementation details.
- Our Culture: Lastly, but most importantly, we live by our values.
