As a Security Software Engineer, your role involves architecting, designing, and implementing end-to-end security controls to impact the global user base.

We are excited if you have:

• Proficient Software Engineering experience.
• Programming/scripting skills: Go or Python.
• Proven track record of deploying and operating Kubernetes and containers in production.
• Experience building, managing, and debugging CI/CD pipelines.

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.
