Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Roku pioneered TV streaming and continues to innovate and lead the industry. The Roku Channel has us well-positioned to help shape the future of streaming. Continued success relies on investing in the Roku Cloud TV Platform, so we deliver a high-quality streaming TV experience at a global scale. In this role, you will work on key video services projects around video ingestion, encoding, VoD/live-linear, Server Side Ads Insertion, and Video QoS, with the goal of delivering a best-in-class streaming TV experience across all Roku devices. The projects that you will work on will impact millions of Roku users around the world. All along, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with key product engineering stakeholders across Roku engineering teams, and lead the design of our video services platform. The ideal candidate will have endless curiosity and can pair a global mindset with locally relevant execution. You should be a gritty problem solver and self-starter who can drive programs with the product and commercial teams within Roku and across external strategic partner organisations. The successful candidate will display a balance of hard and soft skills, including the ability to respond quickly to changing business needs.
• How will I use AI at Roku?
• At Roku, we don’t just use AI, we work with it. AI agents and smart tools help power drafts, analysis, and repetitive workflows, while our people bring direction, judgment, and accountability. We’re looking for curious, adaptable builders who can show how they’ve used AI or automation to move faster, raise the bar, and scale their impact.
• We value your AI skills if you have built fluency across the agentic engineering toolchain — coding harnesses like Claude Code or Cursor, MCP servers, custom skills, or agent frameworks. And you can describe projects where you shipped real work with these tools. You know how to drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you.

Who can apply

• Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities
• 5+ years of solid programming experience in Java core libraries and developing web server applications, object-oriented design and design patterns, and passionate about writing high-quality and well-architected code

• Experience with design and implementation of modern micro-services architectures and API frameworks (REST/JSON)

• Experience with NoSQL data storage technologies such as Cassandra, DynamoDB, Redis, etc. as well as RDMBS like Oracle or MySQL
• Domain expertise in the area of Over-the-Top Video delivery technologies, On-Demand/Live streaming, DRM, encoding, delivery, CDNs etc. is highly preferred
• Ability to handle periodic on-call duty as well as out-of-band requests; strong written and verbal communication skills
