Senior Product Designer, Games Access and Identity

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with over 300 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

The Games team is building a new category of experiences—unified, accessible, and deeply connected to our broader product ecosystem.

We’re seeking a strategic and imaginative Senior Product Designer to work across our game platform/services and lead design for access and identity for Netflix Games. This role is about shaping a seamless, secure, and expressive experience that makes it easy for anyone—member or not—to play. You’ll work at the intersection of identity, account access, platform policy, and player expression, helping define what it means to belong in the world of Netflix Games while Influencing and contributing to the overall Netflix identity and access ecosystem.

You’ll partner closely with product, engineering, legal, marketing, and fellow designers to craft thoughtful access experiences that unlock new business opportunities, respect platform constraints, and elevate our brand promise of joy through play.

This is a remote-friendly role (within the US, Pacific time zone preferred), with regular travel to Los Gatos or Los Angeles for collaboration.

Why This Role Matters

Netflix Games is still early in its journey—but growing. As we broaden our game catalog and platform reach, the opportunity to redefine how people join, return to, and express themselves within Netflix Games is significant. Access and identity are foundational to this next phase. From offering gameplay to non-members and building guest account flows, to establishing how player handles and history show up across Netflix—it all starts here.

This role is uniquely positioned to:

• Explore how we serve players before they become members.

• Shape the way we communicate the value of the game and/or catalogue in access flows.

• Build the identity frameworks that connect play, profile, and presence.

• It’s a strategic and creative challenge—with business impact at its core.

What You Will Do

• Develop a vision for how players access games and identify themselves across all surfaces of Netflix Games.

• Design experiences for non-member access, guest accounts, login, and identity creation—balancing platform policy requirements with player delight.

• Define how Netflix’s account and identity model evolves to support social, multiplayer, and cross-device gaming in ways that feel native to our brand.

• Collaborate across functions—PM, engineering, legal, and platform partners—to explore new models for access and membership value.

• Contribute to the definition of monetization strategies (e.g., upsell moments, free-to-play considerations) by shaping how those moments come to life in product.

• Partner closely with the Growth design team to ensure games are aligned with the broader Netflix roadmap—while also advocating for the unique needs of players.

• Help define the future of player profiles and personalization—guiding how we evolve handles, icons, player hubs, and public identity with an eye on future social opportunities.

• Navigate ambiguity with clarity—bringing design leadership, structure, and momentum to a space still being defined.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of product design experience, including end-to-end ownership of complex, platform-level initiatives.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating cross-platform product thinking, elegant UX, and ability to solve for both business and user needs.

• Experience with account systems, identity, access, growth, or platform design—especially in regulated or technically nuanced environments (e.g. mobile games, app store compliance, login/auth).

• A systems thinker who can connect the dots between player experience, platform policy, and technical requirements.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills; able to synthesize complexity and inspire partners across functions.

• A balance of vision and execution: you can dream up what’s possible and ship what’s necessary.

Even Better If You Have…

• Experience with gaming ecosystems, live service products, or entertainment platforms.

• Comfort designing with policy constraints or across regulated platforms like Google Play or the App Store.

• A passion for player identity, representation, and expression.

Why You'll Love Our Team

• Opportunity to Build: This is a chance to shape how people experience Netflix Games from day one—not just the games they play, but how they get there.

• Strategic and Creative Balance: You’ll work on deeply impactful problems that require deep systems thinking, creativity, and business savvy.

• Collaborative Culture: Join a thoughtful, passionate, and fun team that believes games are better together.

• Freedom and Trust: Bring your vision to life with autonomy and strong cross-functional support.

• Growth-Oriented: We support career development through mentorship, stretch opportunities, and learning budgets.
