Netflix hires android developers for creating Netflix App for Android Phones

One of the popular movie rental site Netflix is said to hired some android developers for developing app for the exponential growing android phone.

A Netflix employee has confirmed that the company is hiring Android developers through Reddit. Netflix plans on releasing an app that will let users stream Watch Instantly content. The mention is an indication that it's still searching for those with the knowledge to make the app, so a release date for the app remains unknown.

He added that Android's rapid rise in market share made it important to support the platform. "With the way Android is blowing up it would be stupid of us to ignore that," the staffer said.

Netflix currently offers an iPad app for accessing its paid, subscription-based content. An iPhone version and possible support for other platforms is enroute.
