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 Team

The Advanced Development organisation pushes beyond the boundaries of product lines to build new things. We think independently of standard shipping cadences and timelines, working on foundational technologies that will impact every Roku device in the future, and on ideas that no one has seen before in their living room.

We’re responsible for driving forward the architecture of Roku OS which ships worldwide, running on devices in more than 85 million streaming households. This work can include anything from optimising common libraries to redesigning the APIs and development environment used by third-party apps running on our platform.

You’ll be able to profile and analyse systems to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, especially on low-cost hardware. You’ll be adept at partnering with other teams to identify requirements and pain points, and to create collaborative solutions.
You’ll be designing, implementing and testing parts of Roku's native development kit which exposes fundamental APIs for the Roku platform. These APIs are used both externally and internally by teams to build higher level SDKs. You’ll be passionate about the high-level vision for these APIs, and eager to get coding and implement this vision, driving usage of these APIs across our codebase to increase modularity and testability.

What You’ll Be Doing

Designing, implementing and testing native development kit APIs for a multi-process environment that are fast, efficient and maximise platform flexibility
Demonstrating excellence in C++ and C development by delivering high-performance, ultra-reliable software
Digging deep to find solutions to new and challenging problems, using data to drive your decision making
Working alongside many software development teams to make improvements to Roku OS modularity and scalability

We’re excited if you have

8+ years in software development, architecture, and API design
5+ years Linux systems programming
Excellent C and modern C++ programming skills
Proven track record developing software operating within tight resource constraints
Excellent collaboration and communication skills

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.
