Senior iOS Software Engineer (L5) DVX Mobile Core

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

About the team:

The DVX Mobile Core team is responsible for developing and advancing the architecture of our member app for iOS. We aim to leverage the systems and infrastructure that is broadly available at Netflix and figure out the best way to adopt and apply them to iOS.

The Core team works with a wide range of engineering groups within the company to enable easier and more efficient patterns and canvases to be deployed to our members. Some of these changes are purely engineering-based, for example to improve key user metrics, while others serve to adopt cleaner development patterns for downstream product engineering.

Our mission is to:

• Enable engineering teams to craft & ship rich, elegant, and performant product experiences

• Enable rapid execution and product innovation on solid, field-tested foundational pieces

• Stay highly aligned with Product Engineering teams yet loosely coupled to have a dedicated focus on technical missions to serve our customer teams

• Advance and promote new patterns and mindsets around iOS development within our engineering community

An additional note: Netflix has significant plans to rework our mobile app. The landscape of mobile entertainment has changed significantly in the past few years and we will be building exciting and novel experiences to address these growing expectations. This role is not about improving the app today, it is about improving the foundations for a tremendous amount of change that will be coming in the next few years.

We are part of a global, diverse organization that includes people of all genders, sexual orientations, upbringings, nationalities, ages, and socioeconomic & educational backgrounds. We encourage engineers passionate about building well-structured mobile experiences to apply.

What You’ll Do

• Build systems & UI infrastructure that define best practices to help drive consistency, reliability, and simplicity in client code.

• Architect maintainable, performant iOS client code with effective documentation that can be leveraged by iOS developers on other teams.

• Leveragewide variety of experience building features and frameworks with technologies like Swift, Swift UI, Dependency Injection, Swift Testing, SPM, etc.

• Assess, apply, and improve on software design patterns such as: MVVM, unidirectional state flow, modularization, asynchronous and event-based programming, modern iOS development patterns.

• Develop code for testability and write automated tests upon unit and component-level frameworks to uphold product quality on a high commit-volume code base.

• Keep a pulse on cutting-edge iOS technologies and software engineering practices.

What Sets You Apart

• Possesses a Deep understanding of the technical landscape of iOS development and can introduce new paradigms and practices.

• Self-starter comfortable with identifying opportunities and driving forward-looking technical solutions or roadmaps.

• Effective at developing strong relationships with cross-functional teams through clear communication, curiosity, and selflessness.

• The ability to take a thoughtful, practical approach to problem-solving that considers tradeoffs and avoids over-engineering.

• Exceptional coding skills, especially with Swift, and can navigate different languages and technology stacks (e.g. Objective-C, Typescript).

• You are excited by ideas like server-driven UIs and GenAI for code development, and you would be interested in exploring and experimenting with these in more depth.

• You understand the value of testing and know how to implement robust and clear low-level tests (including using bitmap diffs for component rendering).

• Strives to elevate your own knowledge and skills and others around you in a way that fosters a supportive, collaborative environment.

• You care deeply about the quality &a
