Roku is changing how the world watches TV Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.Canada, and Mexico, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. 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’re the engineers who build the high-performance graphics and UI foundations that power the FRAME engine — the core technology enabling Roku’s smooth, responsive, and visually rich experiences on millions of devices worldwide. Our work lives in the middleware and UI layers, and its impact is felt every time a user navigates a menu, enjoys an animated ad, or is wowed by the bespoke experience built to market the latest TV show or Movies. We thrive on solving the toughest technical challenges — from optimizing UI rendering to fine-tuning memory usage — using BrightScript (or JavaScript-like) to deliver rock-solid, high-performance solutions. If you love building the invisible foundations that make great user experiences possible, this is the team for you. As a Senior Software Engineer in the DMTE team, you’ll be at the heart of Roku’s platform innovation — designing, implementing, and optimizing BrightScript (or JavaScript-like) systems for graphics rendering and the FRAME engine. You’ll take on complex, performance-critical challenges that demand both creativity and precision, ensuring our devices deliver buttery-smooth visuals and instant responsiveness at scale. This is a role for engineers who love deep technical problem-solving, care about performance down to the last millisecond, and want to work on technology that quietly powers an entire ecosystem. If you’re ready to push boundaries, mentor others, and help define the future of streaming, we’d love to hear from you.
