Position summary
About the Advanced Development Team
The advanced development team pushes the boundaries beyond product lines to build new things. We think independently of standard shipping cadences and timelines, working on foundational technologies that will impact every Roku device in the future and on ideas that no one’s seen in their living room. Yet.
An exceptional team needs exceptional talent. Everyone here is an expert but without the myopia of over-specialization. They have the technical expertise to let them see the bigger picture but can still go deep into the minutia, pushing back against convention and building something singular and new. They foster a keen sense of collaboration and trust with little room for drama. Together, this is a team of people who love to make decisions and own those decisions.
