Description For Software Engineer 5 - Growth Foundations

Netflix, the world's leading entertainment service with 283 million paid memberships across 190+ countries, is seeking a Software Engineer 5 for their Growth Foundations team. This role is crucial in developing the technical foundation that powers Netflix's $400 billion commerce platform.

The position focuses on developing Netflix's internal SDUI framework, which powers various consumer experiences including member signup, ads templates, and account management. You'll be working with TypeScript, GraphQL, and Node.js to create scalable API systems that enable seamless development across web, TV, Android, and iOS platforms.

As a senior technical leader, you'll be responsible for architecting solutions, leading projects, and setting the technical strategy for Netflix's commerce platform. The role requires strong expertise in frontend development, API design, and system architecture, with an emphasis on performance and stability at scale.

The ideal candidate brings 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems and GraphQL. You should excel at breaking down complex problems, leading with empathy, and thriving in ambiguous environments without direct PM oversight.

The position offers competitive compensation ranging from $100,000 to $720,000, based on experience and location. Netflix provides a flexible remote work environment, with core hours from 10am - 4pm Pacific time. For those interested in working from the Los Gatos headquarters, relocation assistance is available.

The Growth Foundations team emphasizes inclusive culture, embracing diverse perspectives and fostering an environment where everyone can be their authentic selves. You'll be joining a team that values healthy debate, technical excellence, and a balance of autonomy with collaboration.

This role presents a unique opportunity to impact millions of users while working with cutting-edge technologies in a team that shapes the future of digital commerce at Netflix. The position combines technical leadership with hands-on development, making it ideal for senior engineers who want to drive both technical strategy and implementation.
