UI Engineer (L5) - Messaging Tools

At Netflix, we want to entertain the world and are constantly innovating on how entertainment is imagined, created, and delivered to a global audience.  We currently stream content in more than 30 languages in 190 countries, topping over 260 million paid subscribers, and are expanding into new forms of entertainment such as gaming and live events.  Engineering teams within Netflix work hard every day to scale and innovate content production and member experiences in an ever-growing complex software landscape.  

The Team

The Messaging Engineering team at Netflix creates & delivers multi-channel messaging experiences across the Netflix customer lifecycle. The team owns the infrastructure, tools, channel integrations, and notification canvases that enable Netflix to communicate with its members and partners.

The Messaging Tools team is responsible for enabling the self-service use of Netflix’s messaging platform that ultimately results in billions of messages monthly reaching consumers across our various channels. We own and build tooling and services for both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders across consumer, games, enterprise, and studio. We empower our stakeholders to make use of configurable building blocks supporting message creation (template construction, UI modules, message personalization, targeting) and message operation (alerts, performance, optimization). We equally work closely with our partner teams to ensure the effective creation of those building blocks and reliable integration into services.
