Teamwork makes the stream work. Roku is changing how the world watches TV. Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and we have 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.

From your first day at Roku, you will make a valuable - and valued - contribution. We are a fast-growing public company where no one is a bystander. We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines.

About this area: Our automation and tools teams are the transformational force that revolutionises our testing and developer experience. These teams leverage AI and analytics to typically build frameworks, pipelines, and developer utilities that increase validation coverage, speed up releases, and improve engineering productivity across embedded, mobile, and cloud services.

About the role: Join our automation and tools team at Roku as a Software Engineer Intern, where your passion for technology and creativity will drive our success. We offer a paid 12-week internship, starting in Summer 2026. As a Software Engineer Intern, you will be assigned a project that strengthens automation or developer tooling—such as adding capabilities to a Python test framework, building a lightweight web or AI tool, or integrating automation into CI/CD.

What you will be doing:

• Own an automation/tools project; examples include extending a Python test framework, building a service for test orchestration, or integrating test steps into CI/CD.
• Develop clean, reusable code (often Python, TypeScript/JS for web tools); participate in code reviews and write documentation for maintainability.
• Collaborate with engineers across locations to roll out improvements and collect feedback.

We are excited if you have:

• Solid Python programming and familiarity with REST APIs and a web framework (Flask/FastAPI/Django or Node.js/Express).
• Interest in CI/CD (Jenkins/GitLab CI) and automation/testing frameworks (pytest/cypress).
• Currently enrolled in a degree programme in Computer Science or related field.
• Curiosity and experience of using Gen/AI LLM tools.
• Understanding of QA and testing methodologies.
• Strong problem-solving and technical communication abilities.
• Proactive mindset with passion for continuous learning and fast iteration.

Our Hybrid Work Approach: Roku fosters an inclusive and collaborative environment where teams work in the office Monday through Thursday. Fridays are flexible for remote work except for employees whose roles are required to be in the office five days a week or employees who are in offices with a five-day in-office policy.

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.

Accommodations: Roku welcomes applicants of all backgrounds and provides reasonable accommodations and adjustments in accordance with applicable law. If you require reasonable accommodation at any point in the hiring process, please direct your inquiries.

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 humour. 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.
