Engineering Manager - TV Client Foundations

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.

The Team

TV UI DevEx aims to provide a holistic, world-class developer experience for creating TV applications, including Netflix’s flagship streaming app. By focusing on a high-quality, high-velocity, joyful developer experience, we enable engineers to deliver product initiatives that bring joy to people worldwide. 

Your team will have the exciting opportunity to unlock new capabilities and immersive product experiences through a highly connected product platform, and accelerate engineers with novel tools and emerging technologies. You’ll explore questions like:

• How might we invest in GenAI tools to best balance quality, maintainability, and velocity? 

• Which paved path workflow investments will unlock new product and business opportunities?

The Role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our TV UI DevEx team. The team will steward developer productivity, code tooling, agentic tools, design-engineering workflows, design systems, component libraries, and enabling product innovation. 

Role Expectations:

• Lead a platform engineering team that builds products for engineers

• Build strong relationships with Design, Product, UI Engineering, and foundational partners

• Build and support a team of senior software engineers who value inclusion, transparency, autonomy, and humility

• Bring partners and the business along by illustrating the value and impact of the team’s work

• Empower, challenge, and coach team members to grow their impact as individual technical leaders by providing them with context and continuous feedback.

• Exemplify the Netflix culture by understanding, advocating, and demonstrating its values

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!
