Senior Software Engineer - Infrastructure (Remote)

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.

You will be a SME and technical leader in engineering Infrastructure, productivity and enterprise tooling, partnering with globally distributed Engineering, Product and Security teams and systems. Roku is seeking a world-class engineer to own the strategy, architecture, and long-term execution of engineering infrastructure, enterprise tooling, and AI-assisted workflow automation. This architect/strategist role drives org-wide improvements in engineering productivity, delivery throughput, quality, security posture, and cost efficiency by building platforms, working practices and automation (including AI/LLM-enabled capabilities) that scale across geographies and time zones.

• AI-First Automation & Intelligent Tooling
• Define and lead an AI-first automation roadmap for Engineering Infrastructure and Enterprise Tooling (e.g., reducing waste, accelerating reviews, improving incident response, increasing release confidence).
• Architect and ship AI/LLM-enabled workflow automation across the SDLC (e.g. risk assessment, automated build, test and deployment, intelligent test selection, change-impact analysis, auto-triage of build/test failures).
• Establish policies and guardrails for AI usage in internal tools: data handling, prompt/response logging, model/provider selection, evaluation, fallback behaviours, and abuse prevention.
• Own and scale test and quality workflows leveraging test management systems (e.g., replace manual coordination with durable automation and integrations that work reliably across regions/time zones).

• Security, Cost, Performance, and Reliability (Distributed Systems)
• Embed secure-by-default controls into pipelines and tooling (access control, secrets handling, audit trails, policy enforcement), including for AI-enabled systems.
• Improve build/test performance and reliability (build times, test duration, flake reduction, pipeline stability) using measurable KPIs and operational rigor.
• Drive cost efficiencies across tooling/infrastructure (compute utilization, caching strategies, license rationalization including AI/runtime costs and ROI tracking).

This requires a very strong technical leader with experience in the development of consumer electronics devices. Provide long-term stewardship via roadmaps, operational maturity (runbooks/SLOs), and incident/postmortem practices suitable for 24/7 global operations.

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Ownership in platform/infrastructure, developer productivity, CI/CD, build systems, or workflow automation, including work spanning globally distributed teams and systems.
• Demonstrated experience delivering automation at scale, including building platforms/components used by multiple teams.
• Strong systems thinking across security, reliability, performance, and cost trade-offs.
• Experience building AI-assisted developer tooling (e.g., CI insights, test intelligence, code review automation, release risk scoring, incident copilots).
• Experience implementing evaluation/monitoring for AI systems (quality metrics, drift, offline test sets, human feedback loops).
• Extensive experience with software development on embedded Linux, multi-process architectures and IPC mechanisms.
• Ability to see the big picture while focused on short-term objectives and deliverables.
• Ability to multi-task and drive parallel projects and distributed teams with tight deadlines.
