[Hiring] Software Engineer 4 - Android @Netflix

Role Description

We're hiring Android Software Engineers (L4) across multiple teams within Streaming & Discovery Experiences. These roles focus on building foundational infrastructure, advancing app architecture, and delivering innovative product experiences that power the Netflix Android app for hundreds of millions of users worldwide.

If you're passionate about building elegant, maintainable, and high-impact software that empowers fellow engineers and touches millions of users, we'd love to talk!

Teams Hiring:

• Member Experience Client Foundations Team: Builds the server-driven UI (SDUI) architecture and tooling that powers the member experience across Netflix's iOS, Android, and TV apps.
• Ads Team: Responsible for delivering and evolving the platform for innovative, customizable ad experiences.

The Role:

We're looking for an Android engineer who's comfortable owning a project end to end — scoping it, building it, shipping it — while leaning on a strong team to sharpen their judgment along the way.

What You'll Do:

• Design, build, and ship Android features and infrastructure that members interact with directly, or that other Netflix engineers build on top of.
• Write clean, testable, well-documented code, backed by automated tests (JVM unit, Espresso, and similar).
• Partner with product, design, and cross-functional engineering teams to scope work and weigh trade-offs.
• Keep a pulse on modern Android tooling and practices, and help modernize the codebase you work in.
• Use GenAI tools as part of your day-to-day workflow, and stay curious about how agentic workflows can speed up development.
• Communicate proactively with your team and stakeholders — solid project management and estimation instincts go a long way here.

Qualifications

• Solid understanding of Android development, with the ability to pick up new frameworks and paradigms quickly.
• Strong coding skills in Kotlin (Java a plus), and comfort navigating adjacent stacks like GraphQL.
• A track record of shipping real features — not just writing code that compiles.
• You know there's rarely one “right” answer — you weigh trade-offs and make calls with incomplete information.
• You build relationships across teams through clear communication and genuine curiosity about other people's problems.
• You want to grow, and you want to help the people around you grow too.

Requirements

• Experience with Jetpack Compose, Circuit, Dagger/Hilt, or GraphQL.
• Experience building or maintaining SDKs, developer tooling, or shared client frameworks.
• Familiarity with high-scale or real-time systems (live streaming, ads, playback).

Benefits

• Comprehensive Health Plans.
• Mental Health support.
• 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match.
• Stock Option Program.
• Disability Programs.
• Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts.
• Family-forming benefits.
• Life and Serious Injury Benefits.
• Paid leave of absence programs.
• Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off.
• Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off.
