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 Netflix Infrastructure Engineering organization drives business growth and innovation through a robust platform essential to Netflix’s scale and operations. Our Data Platform supports the full data lifecycle—from online data stores and movement to analytics—enabling data practitioners to build and use reliable datasets and insights with speed and confidence. It powers data‑driven decisions at global scale, letting teams focus on what truly matters: helping Netflix entertain the world.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking a Staff Product Designer to shape the future of analytics and data experiences at Netflix. You’ll design intuitive, end‑to‑end workflows that help data and analytics engineers go from intent to trusted insight fast—reducing cognitive load, removing toil, and making the right path the easy path.

You’ll create coherent journeys across discovery, development and orchestration, semantic and metrics modeling, and analysis and reporting—unifying experience among analytics tools and integrations, with minimal context switching and a consistent mental model. You’ll make relationships and dependencies intuitive (e.g., lineage across tables, models, metrics, and reports) and ground this work in observability and governance, so practitioners can trust what they build and use. Your work will help practitioners move faster with confidence, so they can focus on insight and impact.

Working closely with product managers and engineers, you'll shape critical initiatives including:

• Semantic and metrics modeling for governed, consistent self‑serve analytics

• Analysis experiences spanning the semantic layer and BI/reporting tools, with strong defaults and guidance

• Unified navigation and discovery across Analytics Portal, Data Portal, and related tools

• Seamless continuity across UI, IDE/CLI, and APIs (consistent mental models and transitions across surfaces)

• Observability and troubleshooting for data pipelines and analytics workflows (e.g., job health, data freshness/quality, debugging)

• AI‑assisted exploration, insights, and visualization (e.g., conversational queries, guided analysis)

This role lets you shape our design practices and define the future of analytics and data experiences at one of the world’s most innovative companies. If you're looking for a deeply technical and highly dynamic role that will transform how Netflix creates and uses trusted insights at scale, we'd love to talk to you!
