Senior Product Designer, Ads Foundations

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

We recently launched a new ad-supported tier to offer our members more choice in how they consume their content. Our new tier allows us to attract new members at a lower price point, while also creating a compelling path for advertisers to reach audiences that are deeply immersed.

To help us deliver this compelling experience, we’re looking for a highly ambitious, visionary, and experienced Senior Product Designer who will help enable the foundational design components and patterns for our consumer and platform advertising experience, including common capabilities like user access and support systems. Additionally, you will partner closely with our central design systems team to build out and maintain a thoughtful, robust, and extensible advertising design system. Your work will be essential to delivering a delightful, engaging, and highly relevant Ads experience for our Netflix members.

***Flexible Remote Model: This will be a hybrid role. The business will require onsite engagement weekly with the freedom to set a flexible work-from-home schedule. Onsite/Remote depends on the business needs and priority of onsite business meetings, and working from home in low-engagement days/weeks. This role would be best for candidates located in California or in the Pacific time zone, as monthly in-person travel will be required to collaborate with stakeholders and partners in Los Angeles, CA and Los Gatos, CA. That said, we can always make exceptions in location for the right candidate.
