Roku is changing how the world watches TV

Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the US 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

Roku is seeking a highly technical and versatile engineer to work with many of our high-profile partners and bring their content to the Roku platform. This is a unique opportunity to work closely with streaming media companies such as Netflix, Hulu, MAX, Time Warner Cable, and Sling TV.

For California Only - The estimated annual salary for this position is between $187,000 - $204,000 annually. Compensation packages are based on factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, certifications, and specific geographical location. This role is eligible for health insurance, equity awards, life insurance, disability benefits, parental leave, wellness benefits, and paid time off.

What you will be doing

You will actively manage the technical relationships with several of Roku’s key content partners. These relationships begin with helping development partners define how their content and brand will be presented within the constraints of the Roku platform. The relationship continues through the application development cycle, where you will provide development expertise to the partner’s engineering and product team.

This will draw on your knowledge of the Roku SDK, Roku firmware, video streaming standards, application performance (focusing on embedded systems) and security. Your technical relationships will often require some level of post launch support as partners plan and develop application updates or address technical issues that arise in the field. The ideal candidate will have knowledge of application development, embedded systems, web services, video streaming and developer relations.

This is a unique role requiring both a strong software development background as well as the interpersonal skills to work with representatives from various levels and backgrounds at partner companies and with diverse internal Roku groups, particularly engineering, business development and partner management. You will represent Roku as a technical expert at on-site, or over-the-phone meetings with partners to ensure an ongoing productive working relationship. You must therefore be practical, extremely professional, and skilled at prioritizing tasks to the optimum benefit of Roku business needs.

We're excited if you have

  • Computer Science B.S. degree or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of software development experience
  • Ability to read and develop in C++ with a minimum of 2 years of experience

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.
