OverviewNetflix reaches over 300 million members across 190+ countries, and Identity is the connective system powering trust, access, personalization, consent, and account experiences across the Netflix ecosystem.
The Identity XD team designs the foundational experiences and platform patterns that enable Commerce, Ads, Games, and Member Experience teams to scale cohesively while maintaining member trust.
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape the future of Identity across areas such as authentication and security, authorization, household and account systems, consent and privacy, consumer data collection, and broader platform initiatives.
About the RoleIdentity sits at the intersection of member trust, platform scalability, privacy, security, and business growth. The problems are highly cross-functional, ambiguous, and systems-driven.
This role requires a designer who can think beyond individual flows and contribute to scalable platform patterns, frameworks, and experiences that support the broader Netflix ecosystem.
Depending on organizational priorities, this role may lead initiatives across authentication, account systems, consent, household identity, or consumer data collection.
Core Responsibilities- Drive High-Impact Identity Experiences: Own the design of multiple end-to-end identity, access, and account initiatives. Deliver high-quality work that balances user needs with critical business objectives.
- Balance Business and User Needs: Seek the "why" behind every product effort. Actively identify business needs and constraints, and clearly articulate the user benefits of your design decisions.
- Structure Complex Problems: Take deeply ambiguous problems involving global privacy, legal, consent, and technical constraints, and break them down into manageable, scalable user experiences and flows.
- Shape Scalable Identity Patterns: Responsibly leverage existing design systems to maintain consistency, while creating new, scalable patterns when new needs arise in the Identity space.
- Collaborate and Communicate: Build strong, trusted relationships with cross-functional stakeholders. Proactively share work in progress, invite feedback, and advocate for rigorous QA to ensure implementation upholds a high bar for quality.
About You- Expert Craft & Execution: You have a deep mastery of product design workflows, tools, and methods. You consistently produce deliverables that are admired and cited as great examples.
- Problem-Solving & Scalability: You are highly capable of identifying, organizing, and structuring complex problems. You propose well-considered, holistic solutions that take higher-order implications (like brand trust) into account.
- Business-Minded Context: You are fluent in connecting your daily design work to broader company strategies and metrics. You make sound decisions and apply good judgment even when working with incomplete information.
- Proactive Partner: You don't just take orders; you initiate tactical discussions with stakeholders, actively listen to feedback, and are sought out by team members for your counsel.
- Domain Experience: Designing for identity, security, authentication, privacy, or global platforms is not required, but a strong plus.
- Working in Ambiguity: You are comfortable operating in evolving environments where systems, ownership, and requirements are still being defined.
