## About the role

Roku is seeking a Design Engineer to build and own the technical foundation that powers AI-assisted design workflows across the UX team, from early research and discovery through concept exploration, design review, prototyping, and post-launch measurement. This role serves as the platform owner underneath all workflow leads, ensuring the pieces fit together into one cohesive process rather than a set of disconnected tools.

## What they're looking for

- Experience in a hybrid design and engineering role with the ability to bridge both disciplines
- Proficiency in web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and at least one modern framework such as React, Vue, or Next.js
- Experience building or operating AI application tooling, such as MCP server integrations, custom agent development, evaluation harnesses, or comparable infrastructure for LLM-based products
- Systems thinking across tool chains, with the ability to design how separate tools compose into a single coherent workflow
- Experience with hosting, deployment, and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab Pages, AWS)
- Familiarity with API integration and working with real data in prototypes or tools, including secure credential handling
