Job Of The Day
Senior Visual Designer
Netflix, Los Gatos, CA
Netflix is looking for an outstanding visual designer to join our small
but amazing team. If you are as passionate about designing great
experiences as you are about helping a successful business reach even
higher heights, then we would love to talk to you. We are a close-knit
team, so our ideal candidate is an excellent collaborator and team
player who values complete honesty and candor. Although we are an
established company, we still act like a start up in many ways. We
offer an opportunity to innovate on a large scale, and our
compensation, benefits, and culture are hard to beat.
About You:
You
have exceptional visual design skills and impeccable sensibility for
color, composition, form and story. You can design in a range of styles
and have a gifted eye for detail. Your visual sensibility allows you to
strike the perfect balance between form and function. Your aesthetic is
guided by restraint and simplicity.
You don’t have a “thin
skin” because you know that any feedback you get is given with the
intent of making you and your designs even better. You’re smart and
competent, but you don’t have an ego. You understand that communicating
has as much to do with listening as it does with talking. You can
articulate the value of your design to Marketing, Product Management,
Engineering and your grandmother as well as you can talk about font
size and whitespace to other designers. You will be expected to produce
quality quickly and be able to take your designs through multiple
iterations on an ongoing basis. You have also read the 7 great reasons
to work at Netflix and you understand and embody the characteristics
listed in reason #6.
You have a user-centric approach to
design and you understand the value of being in a data driven
environment where extensive testing guides us in improving the
experience for our customers – expect to engage in an ongoing healthy
debate about data vs. design. We hire senior people who are expected to
“think” AND “do” and as a result, this is a very hands-on, roll your
sleeves up and get dirty kind of environment.
…and of course, you must love movies. Posted by Megan
