We are looking for a product-minded Technical Program Manager who is passionate about building great customer experiences alongside adaptable, inclusive teams. You will be part of a cross-functional group of product managers, designers, data scientists, researchers, and engineers leading the evolution of the Netflix app across our entire device ecosystem.

Identify the systems involved to build new solutions, align roadmaps, and weigh relative priorities.
Establish an overall plan for numerous teams to rally around and successfully launch new experiences for Netflix customers.
Identifying and mitigating technical risks.
You are a strong communicator with exceptional listening skills. You can operate independently, challenge the status quo, and always play for the larger team.
What sets you apart?
You have a passion for driving toward clarity and simplicity.
You have experience making smart architectural investments to meet the demands of a rapidly growing user base across the world. You’ve learned the difference between building flexible systems that can adapt to business needs and unnecessarily complex systems that attempt to guess the future.
You are always thinking about the user experience implications of the team’s work.
You are a thought partner to your business stakeholders and successfully influence product direction.
You can effectively prioritize and make tough trade-offs. You seek to understand other parts of the business, their limitations, and where product sensitivities lie. You balance competing concerns and make tough calls on where to cut scope vs. invest more heavily, and how to make resourcing trade-offs across different domains.
You embrace adaptability and flexibility. You are always looking for creative ways to keep the team nimble and foster a culture that embraces change.
As comfortable speaking technically as non-technically and able to bridge between the two.
10+ years of experience in product management, technical program management, software engineering, or leading software development projects.
Desired Technical Skills:
Consumer software, systems design, and architecture experience.
Ability to identify gaps in solutions, debate technical approaches, and see various perspectives.
