About the Role You will bea 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. How will I use AI at Roku? At Roku, we don’t just use AI, we work with it. AI agents and smart tools help power drafts, analysis, and repetitive workflows, while our people bring direction, judgment, and accountability. We’re looking for curious, adaptable builders who can show how they’ve used AI or automation to move faster, raise the bar, and scale their impact. We value your AI skills if have built fluency across the agentic engineering toolchain — coding harnesses like Claude Code or Cursor, MCP servers, custom skills, or agent frameworks. And you can describe projects where you shipped real work with these tools. You know how to drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you. Key Responsibilities AI-First Automation 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. 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 #J-18808-Ljbffr
