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.

Hawkins is Netflix's design system and the foundation of the consumer experience across every surface: TV, mobile, and web. It is the shared language between design and engineering that ensures what designers create is delivered consistently across every engineering platform. It's also the foundation for future automation and agentic design-to-code workflows.

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive large, cross-team programs across Hawkins engineering and cross-platform UI foundations. This high impact role will be a force multiplier across the XD Platform team, client and server engineers, and design owning planning, execution, and cross-functional alignment for high-impact initiatives that shape how Netflix builds consumer-facing UI at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Drive large, cross-team programs across Hawkins ecosystem end-to-end: define scope, milestones, and sequencing; keep us honest on commitments; and adjust quickly as we learn.

• Navigate technical and organizational complexity across design, client, and server engineering, ensuring the right people are in the room and decisions are pragmatic, not perfect.

• Coordinate platform adoption across multiple client surfaces (TV, mobile, web).

• Bring clarity to ambiguity: create lightweight structure, clear communication, and simple mechanisms without over-engineering process or slowing teams down.

• Build alignment and strong relationships with partners across Design Platform, Engineering, Experience Design, and Product Management.

• Establish and manage the intake process from XFN partners?

• Surface and manage dependencies and risks so issues are addressed early and delivery stays on track.

What Sets You Apart

• 6-8+ years of technical program leadership, driving multi-team programs in large, complex engineering organizations, including significant experience on platform, framework, or client/UI engineering programs.

• Able to engage on technical trade-offs without writing code, and communicate naturally across audiences from ICs to senior leadership in Engineering, Design and Product.

• Experience with client/UI engineering, design systems, or platform/framework development, and a strong feel for developer and designer experience;

• Equally comfortable getting into technical details and setting direction within your area; clear-eyed about what the moment calls for, and skilled at driving accountability through clarity and relationships rather than process or reporting structure.

• Takes full ownership of outcomes and relentlessly drives execution, even when faced with ambiguity or cross-functional friction.

• Experience leveraging GenAI tools to scale your impact, and a genuine curiosity about how these tools are reshaping the way technical programs run.

• Familiarity with cross-platform delivery (TV, mobile, web) and design-to-code workflows is a plus.
