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 Role
You will be a SME and technical leader in engineering Infrastructure, productivity and enterprise tooling, partnering with globally distributed Engineering, Product and Security teams and systems.
What You’ll Be Doing
Roku is seeking a world class engineer to be a true force multiplier by owning the strategy, architecture, and long-term execution of engineering infrastructure, enterprise tooling, and AI-assisted workflow automation. This architect/strategist role drives org-wide improvements in engineering productivity, delivery throughput, quality, security posture, and cost efficiency by building platforms, working practices and automation (including AI/LLM-enabled capabilities) that scale across geographies and time zones.
Key Responsibilities
AI-First Automation & Intelligent Tooling
- Define and lead an AI-first automation roadmap for Engineering Infrastructure and Enterprise Tooling (e.g., reducing waste, accelerating reviews, improving incident response, increasing release confidence).
- Architect and ship AI/LLM-enabled workflow automation across the SDLC (e.g. risk assessment, automated build, test and deployment, intelligent test selection, change-impact analysis, auto-triage of build/test failures).
- Establish policies and guardrails for AI usage in internal tools: data handling, prompt/response logging, model/provider selection, evaluation, fallback behaviors, and abuse prevention.
Dev Productivity & Enterprise Tooling (Global Scale)
- Set technical direction and standards for the globally used developer tools, including build systems. Source code management, branching/release strategy, and self-service support tools.
- Architect and evolve, CI/CD and build/test pipelines using Jenkins, Docker, and build systems (Bazel /BitBake/Yocto preferred) to support multi-site engineering environments.
- Own and scale test and quality workflows leveraging test management systems (e.g., TestRail or equivalent), enabling consistent traceability, reporting, and release sign-off across distributed teams.
- Drive Jira workflow design and automation (templates, guardrails, integrations) to provide consistent cross-org visibility and execution.
Workflow Automation (Cross-Functional, Cross-Geo)
- Design and implement automation spanning Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Partners (e.g., launch readiness, certification/release checklists, partner onboarding, incident/change workflows).
- Replace manual coordination with durable automation and integrations that work reliably across regions/time zones.
Security, Cost, Performance, and Reliability (Distributed Systems)
- Embed secure-by-default controls into pipelines and tooling (access control, secrets handling, audit trails, policy enforcement), including for AI-enabled systems.
- Improve build/test performance and reliability (build times, test duration, flake reduction, pipeline stability) using measurable KPIs and operational rigor.
- Drive cost efficiencies across tooling/infrastructure (compute utilization, caching strategies, license rationalization including AI/runtime costs and ROI tracking.
- This is a highly visible role and you will report directly to a Vice President of Engineering. This requires a very strong technical leader with experience in the development of consumer electronics devices. The right person for this role will have ability to collaborate well with engineering and partner teams.
- Own cross-team architectures and standards; drive adoption through influence, clear technical judgment, and sustained multi-quarter execution.
- Lead design reviews, mentor senior engineers, and unblock the hardest technical problems across distributed teams and systems.
- Provide long-term stewardship via roadmaps, operational maturity (runbooks/SLOs), and incident/postmortem practices suitable for 24/7 global operations.
- Establish yourself as the person others bring their hardest problems to
We’re Excited If You Have
- Bachelor’s in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Prior experience at Staff, Principal, or Architect level
- Ownership in platform/infrastructure, developer productivity, CI/CD, build systems, or workflow automation, including work spanning globally distributed teams and systems.
- Strong, hands-on knowledge of:
-
- Git (workflows, branching strategies, release management)
- Jenkins (CI/CD pipeline design, scaling, reliability)
- Docker containers (reproducible build/test execution)
Build systems ( itBake/Yocto preferred)
- Jira (workflow design/automation, cross-team visibility)
- Test management systems (e.g., TestRail or equivalent)
- Demonstrated experience delivering automation at scale, including building platforms/components used by multiple teams.
- Strong systems thinking across security, reliability, performance, and cost tradeoffs.
- Excellent written communication (architecture docs, decision records, operating procedures).
- Experience building AI-assisted developer tooling (e.g., CI insights, test intelligence, code review automation, release risk scoring, incident copilots).
- Experience implementing evaluation/monitoring for AI systems (quality metrics, drift, offline test sets, human feedback loops).
- Extensive experience with software development on embedded Linux, multi-process architectures and IPC mechanisms
- Experience working in large cross functional teams and ability to influence teams that don't report to you
- Ability to see the big picture while focused on short-term objectives and deliverables
- Ability to multi-task and drive parallel projects and distributed teams with tight deadlines

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.
