Full Job Description

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’s next.

Member API is Netflix's stable abstraction layer between devices and backend systems, serving as the intentional coupling point for how Netflix retrieves and renders discovery related experiences. We own the Consumer Edge GraphQL service, the API paradigms that power every discovery-related screen a Netflix member sees, and the developer experiences that allows partner teams to contribute and consume APIs.

We're looking for a teammate who will be a technical authority on client-server API design and GraphQL. You'll work at the intersection of platform engineering and developer experience, defining how APIs are built, governing how they evolve, and ensuring the architecture holds up as Netflix expands into new domains (Games, Live, and beyond).

This is not a role for someone who is okay maintaining the status quo. We're actively retiring legacy architectures, converging on GraphQL, and rethinking contribution, governance, and lifecycle tooling from the ground up.

What You'll Do:

Evolve the GraphQL schema layer, including federation patterns, and lifecycle governance
Own the API paradigm portfolio across client-driven, server-driven, and emerging patterns, providing clear opinionated guidance on when each fits
Partner with device client engineers and backend domain teams to design APIs that are correct, resilient, and intuitive to consume without requiring knowledge of Member Platform internals
Contribute to the API lifecycle from design through deprecation: tooling, guardrails, governance, and payload health
Shape how AI-assisted (and eventually AI-driven) contributions fit into the API development workflow
Collaborate closely within the team on shared projects and technical decisions, and align cross-functionally with product, client foundations, and partner engineering teams to ensure API investments map to real product needs

What We're Looking For:

Deep, hands-on experience designing and evolving GraphQL APIs at production scale, including schema design, federation, breaking-change management, and field lifecycle governance
Strong intuition for client-server API relationships: you can reason clearly about the tradeoffs between client-driven and server-driven paradigms and know when each is appropriate
Comfort operating in large, distributed systems, reasoning about blast radius, schema ownership boundaries, and the operational implications of changes that touch many downstream consumers

Nice to have:

Experience with real-time or push-based API patterns (subscriptions, SSE)
Experience owning API platforms or developer-facing infrastructure where other teams are your primary customers, not end users

What We Value on This Team

Make the right thing the easiest thing. We design our system starting from how it will be used, not from what's convenient to implement.
Know your customers. Device client engineers are our users; we actively learn how they build so we can serve them better.
Quality over quantity. We vend concise APIs with clear boundaries. A partner shouldn't need to know our internals to consume or contribute.

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. This compensation range will vary based on location.

Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs. Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off. Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off. See more details about our Benefits here .

Netflix is a unique culture and environment. Learn more here .

Inclusion is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates. If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.

Job is open for no less than 7 days and will be removed when the position is filled.
