Full-stack L5 engineer building Netflix Playground's Android client and the backend services behind it
Netflix's Kids Experiences team is hiring an L5 full-stack engineer to build Netflix Playground, a curated kids' games destination, end to end — from the Android client to the backend APIs and the WebView/JS bridge layer that lets web-based games run inside native clients. Strong fit for engineers who lead with Android depth but are equally comfortable designing backend service contracts and observability, and who want greenfield ownership on a fast-moving, safety-conscious kids' product.
