You will own the full lifecycle of agent development-from prototyping and architecture through orchestration, evaluation, deployment, observability, and continuous improvement. You will contribute directly to Roku's AI strategy by engineering reusable components, optimizing agent workflows, and ensuring strong real-world performance in production environments. How will I use AI at Roku? At Roku, we don't just use AI, we work with it. AI agents and smart tools help power drafts, analysis, and repetitive workflows, while our people bring direction, judgment, and accountability. We're looking for curious, adaptable builders who can show how they've used AI or automation to move faster, raise the bar, and scale their impact. We value your AI skills if have 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 projects where you shipped real work with these tools. You know how to drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you. What are the responsibilities of the role? * Architect, develop, and deploy AI agents and copilots for Roku TV use cases, integrating them with internal systems, tools, and services. * Own end-to-end agentic systems from concept to production, including model selection, prompt and context design, retrieval strategies, backend services, and conversational interfaces. * Design and implement single-agent and multi-agent orchestration patterns, including handoffs, delegation, and cooperative task execution. * Build scalable RAG and context pipelines that provide high-quality grounding for AI systems and keep them aligned with evolving data sources and business logic. * Implement tool-calling, function-calling, and MCP-style integrations so agents can safely take actions and interact with the systems around them. * Create reusable agent templates, modular components, and paved-path patterns that accelerate adoption across teams and use cases. * Establish strong evaluation, observability, and monitoring for conversation quality, task success rate, latency, cost, and overall system performance. * Build safeguards that improve production readiness and reliability, including testing pipelines, controlled rollouts, drift detection, and mechanisms that prevent error amplification in multi-step workflows. * Prototype quickly, run experiments, and translate successful ideas into durable, scalable software solutions. * Partner closely with engineering, product, QA, infrastructure, and cross-functional teams to deliver meaningful business and customer outcomes., 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.
