This is a remote-friendly role (within the US, west coast preferred), with required onsite meetings in Los Gatos and Los Angeles for meaningful collaboration and team bonding.

What You Will Do

• Develop a strong, informed design point-of-view and unify the organization through a cohesive vision, demonstrating strategic thinking and creative excellence across multiple business domains.

• Identify, define, and drive large-scale social initiatives and product features from concept through launch.

• Shape product objectives by identifying business needs and aligning your team’s work with company strategy, accounting for complexities and uncertainties within the gaming ecosystem.

• Collaborate with a small team of designers and cross-functional partners to explore, test, and evolve community gaming experiences on Netflix.

• Partner with internal and external game studios to design and implement scalable social platform features.

• Own the end-to-end design process—from blue sky exploration to UX specs and quality UI designs—balancing polish with speed to execution.

• Lead collaboration across disciplines (product, engineering, and design), ensuring seamless communication and facilitating impactful decision-making across cross-functional teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven Experience: 8+ years as a Product Designer (or equivalent experience) with a strong portfolio showcasing consumer-facing social and platform design work.

• Cross-Platform Expertise: Experience designing for mobile, web, and TV platforms, with a deep understanding of how to create cohesive experiences across devices.

• Problem-Solving Skills: A track record of developing innovative solutions for complex design challenges, particularly in consumer-facing products.

• Deep Understanding of Social Mechanics: Expertise in gaming social mechanics, user expectations, behavior, and trends around building community and digitally connecting with others.

• Collaboration and Communication: Excellent communication skills with the ability to excite stakeholders and articulate a clear vision.

Even Better

• Familiarity with game development, player engagement strategies, and the gaming ecosystem is a plus.

• A deep understanding of how to design for both technical and non-technical audiences, particularly in the gaming or entertainment industries.

• Technical Skills: Figma experience and working with established design systems is a plus. Experience with A/B testing and using data to inform design decisions is also advantageous.

Why You’ll Love Our Team

• Empowered to Innovate: You’ll have the freedom and flexibility to craft your own design workflow while leveraging Netflix’s world-class design system and tooling.

• Collaborative Culture: Work with a supportive, talented team on problems that matter, with the autonomy to explore new ideas and drive meaningful impact.
