Marvin Ojwang is an engineering leader with over 15 years of experience who currently manages Netflix’s Live & Ads UX Engineering team from San Jose, guiding 13 engineers to deliver next-generation live and ad-supported experiences across Android, iOS, TV, and web. He has a strong track record at Netflix driving platform-wide initiatives—cutting rollout time for acquisition and commerce flows from months to single-digit person-months by enabling a GraphQL-driven server-driven UI and a cross-platform design system. Earlier roles span web platform modernization, backend migrations, multi-device second-screen initiatives that doubled engagement, and foundational CI/CD and automated testing work across consoles and streaming players. His background includes performance engineering at Microsoft, and he pairs hands-on technical skills (C#, C++, JavaScript, Java) with product-focused leadership. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic architect who reduces developer friction and accelerates delivery while maintaining user-facing quality.
