From developer experience to tooling to support, engineers on Growth Foundations are experienced multifaceted operators skilled in a variety of disciplines all the way from the top of the UI stack to the bottom infrastructure layer. 

As we focus on developing and maintaining both the Node.js-based Web platform and the GraphQL-based API Data platform, we’re looking for an experienced software engineer to help build the UI and data platform to accelerate experimentation while reducing risk and safeguarding privacy. You’ll collaborate with both backend and UI engineers to design and implement a scalable TS/GraphQL-based API system that powers the commerce UI experience across web, TV, Android, and iOS devices. You’ll also architect and develop a rendering engine for server-driven UI and partner with engineers to optimize the tooling and overall developer experience. 

Along with solving complex engineering problems, you will lead projects and help set a long-term vision and technical strategy for the broader Netflix commerce platform with a focus on scale and interoperability with the Web platform.
