About Roku

Roku provides the simplest way to stream entertainment to your TV. On your terms. With thousands of available channels to choose from. Backed by Menlo.

About the role

From your first day at Roku, you'll make a valuable - and valued - contribution. We're a fast-growing public company where no one is a bystander. We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines.

What they're looking for

  • Multi-step agents that do real work in production. Detecting regressions across services, bisecting the commits that caused them, proposing fixes, generating and reviewing co de that other engineers review and merge
  • Internal tooling that your colleagues actually adopt. Skills, harnesses and services that make the team faster, rather than demos that get admired once
  • Real-time telemetry and event processing at streaming scale, under the CPU and memory constraints that come with shipping to devices in people’s homes
  • Agent problems that only exist when there is hardware in the loop: physical feedback, device fleets, and signals you cannot simulate on a laptop
  • Up to 4/6 y ears of professional engineering experience since you finished studying
  • Strong systems or infrastructure fundamentals. Real-time data, telemetry, distributed systems, platforms, or device work. This is the part we will not compromise on

About the role

Roku is a streaming company. We are not an AI-first company and we are not going to tell you we are. What we are doing is building real agentic capability into the platform behind 100M+ streaming households, and we need engineers who can make agents work on top of systems that already carry serious load.

This is a systems engineering job first. The agent work sits on telemetry, distributed services and physical devices, and it is the systems half...
