At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what\u2019s next.\n\n# The Role\n\nThis is an exciting opportunity to join a new team and build a dedicated Design System from the ground up. We are seeking a highly skilled Mobile UI Engineer to build and drive the foundational Design System for Netflix\u0027s Commerce business domain. This role operates across both iOS and Android platforms, with a primary focus on iOS.\n\n## The role will be centered on:\n\n * Component Development: Designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality, production-ready, accessible, and performant UI components. This work is primarily focused on building native iOS design system components using Swift and SwiftUI/UIKit.\n\n * Technology Stack: The role requires deep expertise in Swift and iOS UI architecture and frameworks (SwiftUI, UIKit). A strong aptitude and interest in Kotlin and Android UI development (Jetpack Compose) are meaningful differentiators \u2014 we believe strong engineering transcends stacks, and building a Design System on the Android architecture is a unique and exciting aspect of this role.\n\n * AI First Development: Develop AI-driven tools that benefit both our own development workflow and the efficiency of those who use our design system.\n\n * Platform Scope: Our components must maintain a consistent experience across both iOS and Android. This role will be primarily responsible for iOS platform delivery while contributing to a shared cross-platform design language and component strategy.\n\n * Strategy \u0026 Roadmaps: Work closely with System Designers and Product Design leadership to define, set, and implement the technical roadmap for the Commerce Design System across mobile platforms.\n\n * Collaboration: The engineer will partner with Commerce experience designers and Core Design System engineers to integrate core components, design tokens, and APIs \u2014 and with product teams to drive the successful adoption of components into various product spaces.\n\n * Adoption \u0026 Enablement: Collaborate with product engineering teams to drive successful adoption of Design System components into their respective product spaces.\n\n\n\n\n# The Team\n\nYou will join a new, high-impact team dedicated specifically to building reusable components for the Commerce domain. The Commerce Domain owns a large and mission-critical surface area of the Netflix product, encompassing the user\u0027s entire journey from initial engagement to ongoing membership. This includes vital touchpoints such as user acquisition, login and authentication, account and identity management, the home page and landing pages, payment processing, and partner flows. Your work provides the foundational building blocks for product engineers who build these products every day.\n\nThis team operates at the intersection of design and engineering, focused on creating scalable, high-quality, and accessible user interfaces that drive the business. You will work side-by-side with System Designers, Product Design, and cross-functional product engineering teams. Your work will directly influence the development efficiency, visual quality, and usability of features that millions of Netflix users interact with globally.\n\nThe engineers you will be working with on the team are not only exceptionally talented but also deeply supportive and collaborative. We believe in providing the best environment for success, and a core part of our mission is to enable other product engineering teams to succeed by providing them with a robust design system.\n\n# What\u0027s Different About Us\n\nScale, Impact\n\n * Hundreds of Engineers: You\u0027ll be part of a team that improves UI development velocity for over 100 engineers.\n\n * Millions of Users: Creates best-in-class UIs used by over 300M subscribers and billions of visitors.\n\n * Hundreds of Devices: Across a wide spectrum of iOS and Android devices.\n\n * Globally: In almost every country in the world.\n\n\n\n\nUnique Technical Challenges\n\nWe build design system solutions that are flexible enough to support a wide range of use cases across diverse client and server environments, while remaining ergonomic and easy to use for the engineers we support.\n\nCollaboration and Communication\n\nIt\u0027s not all about the tech. We highly value the skills required to build strong relationships and collaborate effectively.\n\nFreedom, Responsibility, Ownership\n\nWe believe in providing engineers with the business context they need, and then giving them the freedom and responsibility to define project scope, define/debate architecture, determine trade-offs, and figure out the implementation details.\n\nOur Culture\n\nLastly, but most importantly, we live by our values.\n\n# What Sets You Apart\n\n * Design Systems Expertise: Prior experience building and maintaining high-quality, scalable Design Systems for mobile platforms.\n\n * iOS Depth: Deep expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit, including iOS UI architecture patterns and performance considerations.\n\n * Cross-Platform Curiosity: Genuine interest in Kotlin and Android development (Jetpack Compose) \u2014 the ability to reason across both platforms is a meaningful differentiator.\n\n * AI Native Mindset: Champion an AI-first development mindset, actively pushing the boundaries of AI\u0027s potential in our products and workflows.\n\n * Production Readiness: Deep understanding and experience with the full software development lifecycle, including building, testing, releasing, and supporting your code in a production environment.\n\n * Server Driven UI: Experience building mobile UIs in a Server Driven UI architecture, including working with GraphQL as a shared data access technology.\n\n\n\n\nPeople who do well on the team are self-starters with a proactive approach to problem-solving, a drive to own projects end-to-end, and a passion for driving technology innovation rooted in business and customer needs. But more importantly, we look for engineers who understand that there are rarely any absolutes when it comes to technology. The ability to engage in meaningful discussions with colleagues about use cases, prioritization, and technical challenges, while thoughtfully weighing trade-offs across multiple solutions, is a skill we value highly.\n\nIf this resonates with you, we\u0027d love to talk!\n\nGenerally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses.
