Full Time Job
At Netflix, we break barriers to connect 100 million people in 190 countries with great movies and tv series. We tackle hard problems that others have not been able to solve and we pay top of market for the most talented designers to shape these experiences globally.
Your role, leading the design of search, is to ensure these connections are made through the experiences you design through your passion and thought-leadership about search experiences. You'll work alongside other talented designers, product managers, engineers, data scientists and algorithm teams to redefine our search experiences across all platforms our members use. You will have a strong understanding of search methodologies, entity and social graphs, semantic search, as well as ranking/recommendation systems. You will be responsible for understanding current member and non-member goals, expectations, pain points, unmet needs, and barriers to using search tools across Netflix; and you will build hypotheses to design and test global solutions.
We have a strong culture of A/B testing and deep analytical rigor so you should be comfortable leveraging rich data insights in your approach to design. As an expert storyteller you'll articulate a vision for search and build empathy for the diverse journeys people navigate, and you will lead and define new design projects from concept to completion across all of our platforms and devices.
Expected skills and experience
• 5-10 plus years of interaction design experience
• 3-5 years focus on consumer facing search / discovery experiences across devices and input types (mobile, web, tv, text, voice, on screen keyboards, gestures, etc).
• Proven leadership and ability to think strategically while acting tactically.
• Impressive track record (and portfolio) of shipping consumer or enterprise search / discovery apps.
• Expert written and oral communication and presentation skills.
• An appreciation and understanding of A/B testing process and comfort using data to inform design decisions.
• Thorough and exacting interaction design skills
• Smart, conceptual, confident, competent, adaptable, proactive, and results-oriented.
• Earnest, mature, and ego-free. You welcome candid feedback, and can constructively give it as well.
A few more things you should know:
• Design is a hugely respected part of creating a great Netflix product. The team initiates many of our best ideas and it strongly influences our implementation, but it is up to the product management team, and not design, to make broader product decisions.
• When we find the right people, we value them deeply-our compensation, benefits, and culture are hard to beat. We also believe creativity comes from happy, fearless and energetic individuals-so we're serious about a healthy life-work balance and a comfortable, casual environment.
• We expect a lot. Our culture is unique and we live by our values, so it's worth learning more about Netflix at www.netflix.com/Jobs .
