Full Job Description
The Role

This 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's Commerce business domain. This role operates across both iOS and Android platforms, with a primary focus on iOS.

The role will be centered on:
  • 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.

  • 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 — we believe strong engineering transcends stacks, and building a Design System on the Android architecture is a unique and exciting aspect of this role.

  • AI First Development:Develop AI-driven tools that benefit both our own development workflow and the efficiency of those who use our design system.

  • 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.

  • Strategy & 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.

  • Collaboration:The engineer will partner with Commerce experience designers and Core Design System engineers to integrate core components, design tokens, and APIs — and with product teams to drive the successful adoption of components into various product spaces.

  • Adoption & Enablement:Collaborate with product engineering teams to drive successful adoption of Design System components into their respective product spaces.

The Team

You 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's 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.

This 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.

The 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.

What Sets You Apart
  • Design Systems Expertise: Prior experience building and maintaining high-quality, scalable Design Systems for mobile platforms.

  • iOS Depth:Deep expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit, including iOS UI architecture patterns and performance considerations.

  • Cross-Platform Curiosity:Genuine interest in Kotlin and Android development (Jetpack Compose) — the ability to reason across both platforms is a meaningful differentiator.

  • AI Native Mindset:Champion an AI-first development mindset, actively pushing the boundaries of AI's potential in our products and workflows.

  • Production Readiness:Deep understanding and experience with the full software development lifecycle, including building, testing, releasing, and supporting your code in a production environment.

  • Server Driven UI: Experience building mobile UIs in a Server Driven UI architecture, including working with GraphQL as a shared data access technology.

People 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.

If this resonates with you, we'd love to talk!

Generally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $388,000.00 - $558,000.00.
