The Advanced Development organisation pushes beyond the boundaries of product lines to build new things. We think independently of standard shipping cadences and timelines, working on foundational technologies that will impact every Roku device in the future, and on ideas that no one has seen before in their living room. As part of Advanced Development, the Developer Experience team specifically focuses on driving internal changes in tooling to improve developer satisfaction and productivity.
