Job description

Teamwork makes the stream work.
Roku is changing how the world watches TV
Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. Our mission is to be the TV streaming platform that connects the entire TV ecosystem. We connect consumers to the content they love, enable content publishers to build and monetize large audiences, and provide advertisers unique capabilities to engage consumers.
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.
About the team
When you work at Roku, you work on a platform that real people use: You can show off the fruits of your labor to your family and friends and see it in your favorite stores' electronics departments. As a member of the Roku Products Engineering team, you will design and develop embedded software systems that enable us to build world-class products, with Roku "inside" as their OS. To make this possible, you will work on the Roku OS on new technologies and develop new features while keeping our existing code clean and performant. Additionally, you will work with product managers to accommodate shifting demands and schedules; collaborate cross-functionally with our QA and other development teams; and build solutions with external hardware component vendors.
We value individuals who take pride in their ability to navigate ambiguity, collaborate, and partner with both internal and external teams, including those with demanding engineering standards and a passion for building the highest-performing, best-in-class consumer products. We aren't kidding that Roku is a place where no one is a bystander. If you want to work on a team where you will be surrounded by the best talent-building things used by millions of people, if you want a tech culture that just works, you should reach out.
About the role
We are looking for a talented engineer to join our Products Team working on the Roku TV program! You will be responsible for the core tasks ranging from Roku OS feature development, SoC partner collaboration, third-party API integration, code maintenance, design scalability solutions to help onboard new factories, supporting our QA and Channel certification teams, and everything else involved in our end-to-end product development and release cycles. To succeed in this challenging role, the following expertise is strongly preferred.
What you'll be doing
  • Roku OS feature development
  • Code maintenance and scalability solution design and development
  • Partner with internal QA and development teams
  • System-on-a-Chip (SoC) integration and platform bring-up
  • Third-party API integration
  • Working end-to-end product development and release cycles

We're excited if you have
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or computer engineering, Electrical Engineering, or other relevant fields
  • 8+ years of relevant software development experience
  • 4+ years C/C++ coding experience
  • System-on-a-chip (SoC) development and integration preferred
  • Experience developing/debugging on Linux or Android-based embedded platforms
  • Good understanding of Linux system and kernel concepts, multithreading primitives, Linux tools, libraries, and open-source development
  • Experience with streaming audio/video platforms, graphics, and industry standards
  • Ability to excel in a fast-paced engineering environment
  • Have an ability to communicate with candor and effectiveness
  • Experience working collaboratively with cross-functional teams

Our Hybrid Work Approach
Roku fosters an inclusive and collaborative environment where teams work in the office Monday through Thursday. Fridays are flexible for remote work except for employees whose roles are required to be in the office five days a week or employees who are in offices with a five day in office policy.
Benefits
Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources. Local benefits include statutory and voluntary benefits which may include healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), life, accident, disability, commuter, and retirement options (401(k)/pension). Employees are supported in taking time off, in accordance with local leave policies and other personal needs to support their evolving work and life needs. It's important to note that not every benefit is available in all locations or for every role. For details specific to your location, please consult with your recruiter.
Accommodations
Roku welcomes applicants of all backgrounds and provides reasonable accommodations and adjustments in accordance with applicable law. If you require reasonable accommodation at any point in the hiring process, please direct your inquiries to EmployeeRelations@Roku.com.
The Roku Culture
Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV.
We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.
