Position summary

The future won't be televised. It will be streamed.

Roku is changing how the world watches TV

Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the US, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. 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.

From your first day at Roku, you'll make a valuable and valued contribution. We're a fast-growing public company where no one is a bystander. We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers worldwide while gaining meaningful experience across various disciplines.

What you'll be doing

When you work at Roku, you will be working on a platform that is used by real people: You can show off the fruits of your labor to your family and friends and see it in the electronics department of your favorite stores.

You will be responsible for designing and building the core system components of Roku OS for the Audio Team. We are looking for a senior software engineer with extensive experience in embedded Linux development and integration. This is a senior role with a high-level of visibility and you must have a proven track record of developing software

We're excited if you have

  • 7+ years of relevant software development experience
  • Extensive experience with modern C++ and Object-Oriented design (OOD).
  • Good understanding of Linux kernel and OS concepts, tools, and libraries
  • Strong experience with API design in C++
  • In-depth experience with embedded Linux development
  • Ability to architect, implement, and test systems for performance.
  • Proven track record of success with embedded system development projects.
  • Ability to accurately estimate software tasks and work to schedule.
  • Bachelor/Master's in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent engineering experience.
  • Experience developing/debugging on Linux based embedded platforms
  • Interest in audio products, audio routing, and audio processing

The Roku culture

Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success not just their own. We surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, easy to work with, and 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 less talented team. We' are 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.
