Senior Product Designer, GenAI Ad Formats

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.

The Role

At the end of 2022, we launched a new ad-supported tier to offer our members more choice in how they consume their content. Our ad-supported plan 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 and invested in Netflix content.

To help us deliver this compelling experience, we’re looking for a highly ambitious, visionary, and experienced Senior Product Designer who will help shape Netflix’s ads consumer experiences for our users. This includes crafting innovative ad formats tailored to our wide variety of content and experiences, innovating within our existing ad canvases, and creating the future of advertising on Netflix.

You will also partner closely with other product designers working across our various member experience teams to deliver a delightful, engaging, and highly relevant Ads experience for our Netflix members.

This will be a remote-friendly role, with the freedom to set a flexible work-from-home schedule.  This role would be best for candidates located in California or in the Pacific time zone, as semi-regular travel will be required to collaborate with stakeholders and partners in Los Angeles, Los Gatos, and New York.  That said, we can always make exceptions in location for the right candidate.

About Our Team

Our primary superpower is the ability to design creatively and collaboratively in highly complex, AI-accelerated environments, balancing the needs of our members and our advertisers through rigorous testing, empathy, and expertise. We leverage a diverse set of design and creative skills, and we're increasingly using AI as a core part of how we work, prototype, and innovate.

You'll be one of the lead designers who crafts these experiences and shapes the future of advertising across our product.
