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

• Act as DB SME for the trust organization, interact with internal Roku teams to advise them on security best practices, DB architectures, and assist in incident response and other security investigations.

End-to-End Security Solutions: Architect, design, and implement security controls. Your work will directly impact our global user base.

Automation Focus: Develop automated, scalable security solutions. Efficiency is key.

Tooling Expertise: Extend or create security automation tools. Detection, process automation, fuzzing—you will own it.

Benefits: Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources. Local benefits include statutory and voluntary benefits which may include healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), life, accident, disability, commuter, and retirement options (401(k)/pension). Our employees can take time off work for vacation and other personal reasons to balance their evolving work and life needs. It is important to note that not every benefit is available in all locations or for every role. For details specific to your location, please consult with your recruiter.

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 are independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you will be part of a company that is 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.
