Are you passionate about building scalable, high-performance systems that process massive amounts of data? Do you thrive on designing and implementing innovative solutions to empower engineering teams with actionable insights? Are you excited to advance open-source observability at a massive scale? Join us to extend (open source) observability tools and build new capabilities that help teams manage data better and get actionable insights. 

About the Team 

The Observability team is part of Roku’s Cloud Technology Infrastructure organisation and plays a critical role in our platform. We are a high-performing, fast-moving international team that thrives on ownership, effective communication, and delivering impactful engineering solutions. 

Our mission is to advance Roku’s observability platform, which operates at an impressive scale by ingesting terabytes of data daily and managing hundreds of millions of active series. As part of this mission, we focus on building scalable, performant systems to meet Roku’s unique needs. By leveraging open-source tools, CNCF-supported projects, and custom solutions, we enable engineering teams across Roku to monitor, debug, and optimize their applications with ease. 

What sets us apart is our results-driven culture rooted in ownership, accountability, and fast iteration. We prioritize solving meaningful engineering problems, fostering collaboration, and continuously improving how we work as a team. 

About the Role 

You will work on core observability systems (metrics, logs, traces) while also developing robust data pipelines and storage solutions optimized for high throughput, performance, and cost. You’ll leverage technologies such as time-series databases (TSDB), columnar storage formats (e.g., Parquet), and distributed data processing frameworks to advance the platform’s capabilities. Collaboration with cross-functional teams will be critical, as you’ll integrate observability into Roku’s cloud-native stack and contribute improvements back to the open-source community. 

• Extend and integrate open-source observability systems, and when needed, structurally overhaul core components, such as storage layers and query paths, to improve performance, reliability, and usability of these tools at scale. 

• Build services to improve performance, usability, reliability, and cost efficiency. 

• Implement features like pre-aggregation, downsampling, and sampling to reduce load and accelerate queries. 

• Create developer-facing capabilities for metrics, logs, and traces usage, data quality, and cost management. 

• Automate onboarding, dashboards, alerting, and tracing. 

• Collaborate across platform and infrastructure teams to integrate observability into Roku’s cloud-native stack. 

What We’re Looking For 

• Extensive experience in software engineering building distributed, high-throughput systems or observability platforms. 

• Hands on Go experience; our observability ecosystem is Go-based, making it the most effective language for this role. 

• Experience with, or strong interest in, observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, ELK/OpenSearch, Clickhouse) and standards (OpenTelemetry, OpenTracing, OpenMetrics). 

• Deep understanding of distributed systems and data models 

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
