Netflix has an opening for a Preschool Series Writer

With over 208 million subscribers enjoying great content in over 190 countries, it’s an exciting time to work at Netflix.

This guiding principle has informed our commitment to animation, a universal language, and the establishment of Netflix Animation Studios where creative visionaries can perform their best work. This is the new wave of animation — and you can help shape it. Our goal is to tell stories that no one has seen but that everyone will remember.

In this series, nine-year old “Codekeeper” Ava - curious, abrupt, best dancer ever - protects the video game world she lives in from bugs, hackers and all glitches in between. This big-hearted, animated action-comedy seeks to tell great stories that inspire girls and other underrepresented groups to explore coding.

We are looking for writers to help further develop the world and series arcs, as well as break stories and write scripts for the series. Both staff and freelance positions may be available.

A Day in the Life:

• Offer a clear point of view and passion for the project.
• Help break stories and write episodes.
• Participate in creative brainstorms and coding/gaming information and research sessions.
• Communicate effectively with team members and evaluate feedback openly.
• Collaborate with grace, humility, inclusion, and open-mindedness.
• Troubleshoot and proactively address notes.
• Meet deadlines from concept to final deliverables.

Do you have what it takes?

• Samples and/or credits demonstrating excellence in three or more previous freelance or staff writer roles in preschool (2-5) or children’s (6-11) programming.
• Outstanding collaborative skills: ability to be personable and synergetic with a unique group of creative staff
• Excellent verbal, written, and online communication skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Passion for telling animated stories.
• Commitment to keeping inclusion and diversity top of mind.
• Enthusiasm and/or expertise in gaming/narrative design and/or coding a plus
