Software Engineer 4 - Android

Summary

Netflix is a global entertainment company whose mission is to entertain the world through storytelling, fandom, and technology. The Android Software Engineer will design, build, and ship foundational infrastructure and product experiences for the Netflix Android app, while partnering with cross-functional teams and contributing to scalable, maintainable engineering practices.

Responsibilities

• 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

Skills

• 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
• 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)
