Roku is changing how the world watches TV

Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the US and Mexico, 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 around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines.

 

About the Team 

The Cloud Technology & Infrastructure team builds platforms used by all cloud engineers at Roku. Together, these components are designed to be a cost-effective and secure platform of services Roku engineers use globally. Our infrastructure team owns the following segments:

  • The Developer platform, which involves management and evolution of source control, artifacts, CI/CD, and securing cloud infrastructure
  • Our Application hosting platform, which is based on Kubernetes and Istio is designed to address scalability, multi-region hosting, multi-cloud hosting, and nuances of deployment
  • The Observability platform, which is based on Prometheus, Loki, and Grafana, is integrated with our application hosting and developer platform
  • Plus the Cloud Governance program

Our team members are smart, collegial, collaborative, and focused on building the best-in-class platform. We foster a culture of experimentation, looking for the best idea to take the day. As a leader on this team, our Director of Cloud Tech models this behavior: If we’re not trying new things, we’re not growing. We need to grow and adapt for Roku to stay on top.

 

About the Role

As Director of Cloud Security, you will lead the whole platform engineering organization. This role involves responsibilities in the following key areas: 

  • Provide technical leadership to the team with your experience and focus on simplifying and accelerating developer experience. Lead developer platform, application hosting platform, observability, and cloud governance
  • Continue to build a world-class team of platform engineers by attracting and hiring high-quality talent across the US, UK, and India. We are expanding in India, so part of your time in this role will involve working closely with the rest of engineering in supporting a development center in India and attracting the best talent there
  • Work with senior management and align roadmaps, communication strategy, and evolution of the platform based on their feedback and users of our platform
  • Act as a product manager for the organization by designing mechanisms to deeply understand our internal customers who use the platform and their pain points
  • Engage with external vendors in negotiations and drive Roku’s cloud governance program, thereby getting involved in the build vs buy decisions as needed

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 rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who 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 number of less talented teams. We're 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.
