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.
