Our work includes driving measurable improvements to our customers’ streaming experience as well as building out new features to support innovative product experiences like Live Streaming and Ads. As part of our day-to-day work, we collaborate with UI engineering and product teams, Apple, content and studio engineering, and data experts to deliver video playback to every part of the Netflix iOS experience.
