About the team
A reliable, privacy-safe, and scalable data foundation is critical to Roku’s rapidly growing advertising business. The Ad Data Activation organization builds the identity systems, device graph pipelines, audience platforms, insights tooling, and data collaboration capabilities that power targeting, measurement, and reporting across Roku Ads.
We are hiring a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to help drive intelligence across these systems. You will work at the intersection of large-scale data platforms, applied machine learning, and generative AI — building capabilities that make Roku's advertising data more actionable for internal teams and advertisers. This includes building core generative AI platform features for Roku Advertising, while also applying traditional ML techniques to improve accuracy, automation, and decisioning across the ecosystem. If you enjoy working across data, ML, and new Gen-AI patterns — and want to shape how intelligence shows up inside Roku Ads — this role is for you.
About the role
In this role, you will design, build, and productionize intelligent capabilities that combine agentic Gen-AI systems with conventional ML pipelines across identity resolution, audience modeling, attribution, and optimization workflows. You will work with massive datasets, develop pipelines that transform raw signals into actionable features, and partner closely with product, data science, and platform teams.
What you will be doing
- Develop scalable and effective ML models and data pipelines to power identity, graph enrichment, audience segmentation, and campaign performance intelligence
- Design and run experiments, measure impact, and translate results into product decisions and customer outcomes
- Build and productionize agentic, generative-AI features — including reporting and insights agents, campaign-monitoring agents (with human-in-the-loop controls), and a semantic layer for reliable, natural-language analytics
- Improve automation, reliability, and scalability across model training, feature engineering, deployment, and monitoring frameworks
- Work closely with software and ML engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions from data ingestion through downstream systems
- Partner with senior stakeholders to shape ML and Gen-AI strategy for Ad Data Activation — identifying the right problems for AI, ensuring safety, and driving advertiser productivity.
We’re excited if you have
- 5+ years of experience applying ML or data science to real business problems at scale
- Master’s degree (or higher) and 4+ years of experience in CS, CE, ML, or a related field
- Strong CS fundamentals and ability to design efficient algorithms and production systems
- Experience with ML approaches used in large-scale data problems (e.g., regression, classification, tree-based methods, embeddings, sequence models, or basic NLP)
- Strong intuition for defining KPIs, objective functions, and evaluation frameworks for ML-driven systems
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Knowledge of programming languages such as Python, Scala/Java, C/C++, or similar
- Experience working with large-scale data platforms (Spark, Presto/Trino, feature stores, data lakes, etc.)
- Experience building or integrating with LLM/Gen-AI pipelines (prompting, evaluation, retrieval, safety) is a plus

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'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.

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.

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.
