Product Designer, Interactive Experiences
Netflix
Los Gatos, CAFull Time Job
About You
You're equally comfortable shaping narrative experiences as you are defining complex UX patterns and frameworks in order to help our team expand the definition of ''interactive'' across Netflix. You balance a passion for storytelling and creating gorgeous and emotionally resonant user experiences with a strong desire of understanding user behavior and success through data and consumer insights. When faced with limits and ambiguity, you become more - not less - creative. You love this zone. You bring projects from concept to completion, doing everything possible to ensure their success.
You're smart, confident, highly competent-and humble enough not to have an ego. You're a skilled communicator who welcomes honest, candid feedback, and your first instinct is to collaborate with others to challenge and make your ideas even better. You partner with a cross-functional team to oversee the experience from conception to launch (and then some).
Responsibilities
• Initiate, define and lead innovation initiatives and projects from concept to completion
• Collaborate with a team of designers (visual, interactive, motion), prototypers, and content producers to explore, test, and evolve interactive experiences on Netflix
• Own full-stack design process-from blue sky exploration to interaction wireframes to polished UI designs to detailed UX specs
• Develop and maintain positive relationships with PM, Content, Engineering and Consumer Insights partners
• Help to create a strong interactive point-of-view and help cross-functional teams to understand the vision
Qualifications
• 8 years design on consumer-friendly interactive experiences
• Multiple successful product/digital launches that drove meaningful impact to the business
• Content production experience in the development of linear and/or interactive narratives
• A great portfolio that showcases deep visual and interaction design skills
• Ability to quickly produce a great range of UX/UI concepts
• The communication skills to clearly articulate your concepts-and evangelize on their behalf
• Proven leadership and strategic ability to drive initiatives and projects with teams
• An appreciation of A/B testing and using data to inform design decisions
• A love of movies, TV shows and interactive media
Why you'll love it here:
• Your work is experiences globally by 300 viewers (and growing) in 190 countries
• You are empowered to imagine what ''interactive TV'' means and create new delight for our members
• You are surrounded by many talented people that you're inspired by everyday
• On the spectrum from careful to reckless, we live right on the border of reckless (otherwise we're not pushing boundaries)
• You get control how you approach solving problems and what tools you use
