## Description

Lauderdale ABOUT THE ROLE You'll build and ship the Paramount+ Roku application used by millions of viewers.
The Roku platform has constraints other platforms don't: tight memory budgets, a single-threaded render loop, device hardware that ranges from flagship to five years old.
You'll solve problems inside those constraints.
We write software that's simple to read, cheap to maintain, and built to last.
You'll own features from design through deployment, work across agile teams, and help other engineers get better at this work.
WHAT YOU'LL DO Design, build, and maintain core Roku framework components and application features for Paramount Architect around Roku's constraints: memory limits, render-thread/task-thread boundaries, device performance tiers, and certification requirements Use RSG 1.3 data transfer APIs, BrightScript Memory Monitor, and Perfetto tracing to find and fix performance problems before users hit them Build real-time personalization and engagement features personalized recommendations, dynamic artwork, ad engagement within Roku's memory and performance budgets Write clear documentation for components, architecture decisions, and platform-specific patterns Measure and improve application performance and stability through instrumentation and observability Work across agile teams and coordinate with backend engineering and DevOps/SRE on service builds and deploys Review code, pair with teammates, and raise the quality bar across the team Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines and testing
