Summary Generated by Built In

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

The Role

We recently launched a new ad-supported tier to offer our members more choice in how they consume their content. Our new tier allows us to attract new members at a lower price point, while also creating a compelling path for advertisers to reach audiences that are deeply immersed.

To help us deliver this compelling experience, we’re looking for a highly ambitious, visionary, and experienced Senior Product Designer who will help enable our global ad tech suite – solidifying Netflix as the premier destination for brands to reach a premium, highly engaged audience. Additionally, you will enable an emerging era of CTV advertising innovation – developing systems that optimize ad performance and engagement.

Your work will also be essential to delivering a delightful, engaging, and highly relevant Ads experience for our Netflix members.

This will be a hybrid role, with a flexible work-from-home schedule. However, onsite attendance will be required as needed by the business - as often as weekly. This role would be best for candidates located in California or in the Pacific time zone, as monthly in-person travel will be required to collaborate with stakeholders and partners in Los Angeles, CA and Los Gatos, CA. That said, we can always make exceptions in location for the right candidate - with flexibility to accommodate candidates at Netflix’s New York City hub.

What We’re Looking For

  • Domain familiarity with advertising technology best practices - you’re comfortable with advertising nomenclature, operations, and Live streaming technology.

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

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