Roku pioneered streaming to the TV and continues to innovate and lead the industry.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with experience in building services at scale. With so many people relying on us for great movies, TV, and news - scaling, reliability, fallbacks, and automation of these scenarios are always at the top of our mind as we continuously add features to the platform. We work very closely with the product team and pride ourselves on quickly iterating on features from prototypes to A/B tests to eventual release to all users.
