Software Engineer, Regional Tv Software (C/C++) in Cambourne

As a Software Engineer on the Regional TV Software team, you will contribute to the development and delivery of software for regional TV platforms, working on both new TV platform projects and new software development projects. You will collaborate with SOC vendors, support certification processes with UK and European broadcast organizations, and help define and build new software features. This is a great opportunity for an engineer early in their career who is curious, collaborative, and motivated to grow across multiple areas of a complex software system.

What You'll Be Doing

• Developing and maintaining software for regional TV platforms, with a focus on markets in Europe and Australia
• Collaborating with SOC vendors to support new TV projects and resolving Roku-specific technical issues
• Supporting certification processes with organisations such as ETV, the BBC, and DTG
• Contributing to new software projects, including requirements definition, software design, and implementation
• Porting and adapting software to meet regional standards and specifications, including HbbTV
• Troubleshooting technical issues across the software stack and working cross-functionally to resolve them
• Participating in greenfield feature development as part of new TV platform launches
• Leveraging AI coding assistants and agentic tools to enhance development velocity and code quality

We’re Excited If You Have

• 1-3 years of experience with C and/or C++ in a commercial environment
• Familiarity with Python
• An interest in or exposure to embedded systems or low-level software development
• Advanced AI fluency: You default to AI before writing code manually, stay current with coding assistants and agentic tools, proactively share prompt patterns and discoveries with your team
• A systems-level mindset — curiosity about how different parts of a system interact and a desire to learn broadly
• Exposure to Linux environments (a plus, but not required)
• Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative approach to working through technical challenges

What should I know about Roku’s 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.
