Full Stack Software Engineer 5 - Member Commerce

Netflix • Los Gatos, CA

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

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.
On the Member Commerce team, we build highly visible, business-critical experiences such as account management, plan selection, upsells, and extra member flows. These surfaces directly shape how members join, stay, and get value from Netflix.
This role is a backend-dominant full-stack engineering position. Engineers in this role primarily design and build backend systems that power product experiences, while also contributing across the stack to deliver features end-to-end when needed.
You should not expect to work exclusively on backend systems in this role.
This hybrid role is based in Los Gatos, California, with in-office collaboration 2–3 days per week.
This role is designed to strengthen backend ownership on a product-heavy team while maintaining the flexibility to deliver end-to-end features

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong backend focus
• Highly proficient in building backend services (Java or similar), including API design, data modeling, and service integration
• Experience working on product-facing systems, not just infrastructure or platform layers
• Can comfortably navigate frontend codebases (React, TypeScript) and contribute when needed
• Understand how frontend and backend decisions influence each other (performance, contracts, iteration speed)
• Demonstrate strong ownership, from system design through production delivery
• Take a pragmatic approach to tradeoffs, balancing speed, quality, and long-term maintainability
• Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across disciplines
• Embody Netflix values such as judgment, candor, curiosity, and selflessness

Responsibilities

• Design and build backend systems that power Member Commerce experiences, including account management, upsells, and extra member flows
• Own features end-to-end, from backend services and APIs through frontend integration and experimentation
• Build reliable, scalable services (commonly Java-based) with a focus on correctness, performance, and iteration speed
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists, and Engineers to translate ideas into experiments and shipped features
• Contribute to frontend development when needed (React, TypeScript), ensuring strong integration between UI and backend systems
• Implement and analyze A/B tests, using data to inform product and engineering decisions
• Participate in technical discussions around system design, tradeoffs, and long-term maintainability
• Mentor other engineers and contribute to raising the technical bar across the team
