Roku is changing how the world watches TV. Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. 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.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to focus on developing core features for the Roku platform UI. We are looking for someone with experience building high-performing applications and SDK components who wants to code on a wildly popular consumer electronics platform. This team spends most of its time working on customer-focused features that improve the user experience, from cross-platform device experiences, TV & Player centric UI, and IoT integration with Roku OS.
They are motivated from within, finding and taking on a feature or project simply because that problem needs to be solved and shipped. But that individual must work together with different engineering teams, UI design, product teams, QA, and business leadership to make things happen, which means that engineers succeed here because they can maintain that independent spirit and motivation within a deeply collaborative environment.
- Integrate third-party C++ libraries
- Relevant software development experience and a proven track record of designing and shipping high-quality software on an embedded platform
- Extensive programming experience with C++ and Embedded Linux or Native Application Development
- In-depth understanding of Linux, tools, libraries, and open source development
- Proficiency in AI Assisted programming
- Media / Video knowledge such as codecs, media streaming, etc.
- Ability to accurately estimate software tasks and work to schedule
- Bachelor’s and/or master’s degree in computer science or equivalent
