These frameworks help UI engineers access data, configure applications, create server-driven UIs and understand how their clients are operating in production.This role will be focused on iOS, requiring familiarity with iOS UI architecture and frameworks. However, we believe strong engineering aptitude transcends stacks, and providing the opportunity to explore UI development on other platforms is a unique aspect of this role.We’re currently building solutions with Swift on iOS and use GraphQL as our shared data access technology. We use Kotlin on Android, and JavaScript/TypeScript on TV &amp; Web.Some of the things we’re excited to be working on currently:<ul><li>Building the ideal cross-platform data access architecture for Netflix applications</li><li>Creating a Server Driven UI architecture and tooling which accelerates app experimentation</li><li>Delivering frameworks to simplify feature-configuration based UI development</li></ul>In this role you’ll:<ul><li>Independently scope, design, implement and deliver project tracks in the areas above</li><li>Weigh business, product and architectural trade-offs to influence your software designs</li><li>Have a stunning set of teammates to draw on, to deepen your iOS UI architecture expertise</li></ul><ul><li>Collaborate with a broad set of client, server, foundational and product engineers across Netflix</li><li>Support product engineers building the Netflix application on top of your framework solutions, and supporting the application in production</li></ul>All of our projects allow you to explore aspects of product development, architecture and tooling.<h1>The Team</h1>The Shared Client Foundations team builds shared UI architecture and frameworks which power the Netflix iOS, Android, TV and Web applications on devices ranging from mobile phones, tablets, web browsers, to streaming sticks, cable boxes, Smart TVs and game consoles.We’re passionate about creating elegantly designed, highly performant UI architectures which empower engineers to build <a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/netflix-play-something-decision-fatigue.html" target="_blank">amazing UI experiences</a> used by millions of users across the globe.

With some teammates working remotely from the east coast, and some co-located in the Los Gatos, CA office. The team is committed to being ‘remote-inclusive’ and believe it’s about the work you do, and the relationships you build. Where you can best do that from is up to you.<h1>You</h1>People who do well on the team are self-motivated engineers with a passion for building solutions rooted in business and customer needs. Analytical and technical skills form a solid foundation. But more importantly, we look for engineers who understand that there are rarely any absolutes when it comes to technology. The curiosity to engage in discussions about use cases, prioritization and technical challenges with colleagues, while thoughtfully weighing trade-offs across multiple solutions is a skill we value highly. As is the desire to continually learn, grow and help your colleagues do the same.All of this, so that Netflix members can immerse themselves in the stories they care about, on the devices they love, from whichever part of the world they call home. Without the technology behind it all ever getting in the way.If this resonates with you, we’d love to talk!<h1>What Sets You Apart</h1><ul><li>You’re eager to learn and grow your technical skills, especially in building mobile UI architecture</li><li>You’re passionate about writing elegantly designed, maintainable, performant software</li><li>You love the idea of your work empowering other engineers</li><li>You have an appreciation for diverse perspectives and a collaborative approach to problem-solving.</li><li>You know that there is rarely a single ‘right’ solution, and are thoughtful about trade-offs</li><li>You understand that it is really about solving problems. A language, framework or library choice is just a means to an end.</li></ul><h1>What’s Different About Us</h1>Scale, Impact<ul><li>Hundreds of Engineers : You’ll be improving UI development velocity for over 100 engineers...</li><li>Millions of Users : creating best-in-class streaming UIs used by over 100M users...</li><li>Thousands of Devices : across a wide spectrum of devices...</li><li>Globally : in almost every country in the world.</li></ul>Unique Technical ChallengesWe build framework solutions (libraries, architectures, and tools) which are flexible enough to span a variety of product use cases, across a varied client, server and network performance landscape, all while being easy to use for the engineers we support.
