Description

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next. Member API is Netflix's stable abstraction layer between devices and backend systems, serving as the intentional coupling point for how Netflix retrieves and renders discovery related experiences. We own the Consumer Edge GraphQL service, the API paradigms that power every discovery-related screen a Netflix member sees, and the developer experiences that allows partner teams to contribute and consume APIs. We're looking for a teammate who will be a technical authority on client-server API design and GraphQL. You'll work at the intersection of platform engineering and developer experience, defining how APIs are built, governing how they evolve, and ensuring the architecture holds up as Netflix expands into new domains (Games, Live, and beyond). This is not a role for someone who is okay maintaining the status quo. We're actively retiring legacy architectures, converging on GraphQL, and rethinking contribution, governance, and lifecycle tooling from the ground up. What You'll Do: Evolve the GraphQL schema layer, including federation patterns, and lifecycle governance Own the API paradigm portfolio across client-driven, server-driven, and emerging patterns, providing clear opinionated guidance on when each fits Partner with device client engineers and backend domain teams to design APIs that are correct, resilient, and intuitive to consume without requiring knowledge of Member Platform internals Contribute to the API lifecycle from design through deprecation: tooling, guardrails, governance, and payload health Shape how AI-assisted (and eventually AI-driven) contributions fit into the API development
