Job description

putting surprising new features into the hands of tens of millions of Roku users worldwide. Our developers and engineers are owners. 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, 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. We are the pragmatic dreamers inventing and re-inventing the world of streaming media. About the roleRoku pioneered streaming to the TV and continues to innovate and lead the industry. While we are well-positioned to help shape the future of television and streaming media worldwide, continued success stems from experienced software engineers like you developing core features for the Roku platform. Our new Software Engineer, UI Infrastructure will be contributing extensively to our embedded UI framework development. You will be working closely with system architects to develop new features or extend current features to improve system stability and performance. You will also be engaged in developing tools which can help the larger development community within Roku. A proven track record of shipping high-quality software on embedded platforms is essential. This is a great role for a professional who enjoys a high level of visibility and thrives on great business impact. The features and performance improvements you implement directly impact millions of users every day. This is a great role for an experienced professional who has innovative ideas for complex problems and can translate these ideas into ultra-reliable software. What You'll Be DoingBuilding and maintaining tooling to improve the quality and consistency of data collected from Roku OS logging. Developing and evolving offline pipelines that process logs to support initiatives like pre-merge validation in Firmware CI and automated data contract generation. Writing and reviewing C++ changes in embedded codebases to ensure logging is accurate, reliable, and usable downstream. Creating Python-based tooling and automation (non-embedded) to extract, analyze, and validate log usage across large codebases. Partnering with engineers across UI infrastructure, firmware, and CI to integrate tooling into developer workflows and keep it production-ready. Troubleshooting issues across tooling, pipelines, and source instrumentation, balancing correctness, maintainability, and scalability. We Are Excited If You Have3-5+ years of relevant software development experience. Proficiency in modern C++ with the ability to read, debug, and extend embedded/firmware codebases. Strong Python experience for building developer tooling, automation, and offline data-processing workflows (e.g., log analysis and data quality improvements). Experience building or improving CI pipelines (including validation and quality gates) to support reliable releases. Familiarity with logging/telemetry concepts and an interest in improving data quality from code to downstream consumers. Working knowledge of core systems concepts (memory, threading/concurrency, and debugging) and the ability to apply them when investigating issues. Experience designing pragmatic internal tools or APIs, with an understanding of trade-offs and maintainability. Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset, as this role partners closely with engineers across UI infrastructure and adjacent teams. Our Hybrid Work ApproachRoku 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. BenefitsRoku 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's 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. AccommodationsRoku 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 to EmployeeRelations@Roku.com. The Roku CultureRoku 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 humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's 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.
