In this role, you will serve as a platform services developer, building innovative solutions using modern software frameworks and paradigms across a multi-tier, distributed architecture. You will drive architecture discussions, take ownership of new projects, and deliver high-quality software within tight timelines. You will partner closely with security, compliance, and cross-functional teams to ensure applications meet audit, security, and compliance requirements. This role requires a self-driven problem solver with a strong background in building large-scale software platforms, microservices, and cloud-based systems. You will also contribute to the continual improvement of engineering tools, cloud-based technologies, and development processes, playing an integral role in shaping the team's technical direction. How will I use AI at Roku? At Roku, AI agents do most of the keystroke-level coding. Engineers act as the technical leads for those agents - setting architecture, reviewing output, and ensuring everything meets Roku's quality bar. If you've already shipped features where an AI agent wrote the initial code and you steered it to production, or you've built fluency across the agentic engineering toolchain - coding harnesses like Claude Code or Cursor, MCP servers, custom skills, or agent frameworks. And you can describe a clear, repeatable workflow: how you prompt, how you scope tasks, how you drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you. At Roku, we're embracing AI as a powerful tool to amplify human creativity, accelerate innovation, and deliver better results across the company. You already have experience using AI tools - or you're excited to learn how - to enhance your work, make smarter decisions, and collaborate more effectively. Whether you're in engineering, marketing, finance, HR, or any other team, AI will be part of how you work here. We want to talk to you. What are the responsibilities of the role? * Design, develop, and deploy scalable web applications and services, contributing to web technology and framework stack decisions, use case design, and data model design * Drive architecture discussions, take ownership and responsibility over new projects, and deliver high-quality software within tight timelines * Partner with security and compliance teams to ensure applications meet compliance, security, and audit requirements * Participate in the continual improvement of engineering tools, cloud-based technologies and services, and development processes * Define and participate in Agile development processes, including scoping, technical design, estimation, coding, testing, debugging, code reviews, maintenance, and support * Collaborate with cross-functional teams and demonstrate strong communication skills * Develop and maintain microservices using modern frameworks and cloud-native technologies * Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflows to support reliable and repeatable deployments, Roku fosters an inclusive and collaborative environment where teams generally work in the office Monday through Thursday. Fridays are generally flexible for remote work, except for employees whose specific roles or assigned office location require five days' a week attendance. ## Related Videos - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
