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

Roku’s cloud platform team is looking for highly skilled infrastructure and software engineers to help develop and drive Roku’s service mesh hosting architecture and platform. Our team is responsible for building and scaling the platform (Kubernetes, Istio, Envoy, operators, and more) to affect Roku’s transition towards a single, unified, cloud-agnostic system where all teams speak the same infrastructure language. We engage across Roku’s engineering teams to migrate hundreds of workloads to our common platform, including helping augment and automate CI/CD flows. We are looking for a leader who can balance priorities, people, and technology choices and work collaboratively across teams to achieve company-impacting results.

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 Manager models this behavior: If we’re not trying new things, we’re not growing. And we need to grow and adapt for Roku to stay on top.

About the Role

As Manager of Roku’s cloud platform team (internally called RMCP) you would have responsibilities in the following key areas:

Provide technical leadership to help architect, design, build, deploy Roku’s next generation service mesh and cloud infrastructure.
Continue to build a world class team of platform engineers by attracting and hiring high quality talent in India. We are expanding in India, so part of your time in this role will involve working closely with 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 platform based on their feedback and users of our platform.
Join in efforts to investigate new technology and tools to be adopted by Roku. 
Mentor team members to define and adopt new or improve existing processes and procedures. 
Coordinate with similar US-based teams to achieve follow-the-sun development.
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.
Assist with managing our team’s sprints, prioritizing the backlog, and project planning.

Benefits

Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources. Local benefits include statutory and voluntary benefits which may include healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), life, accident, disability, commuter, and retirement options (401(k)/pension). Our employees can take time off work for vacation and other personal reasons to balance their evolving work and life needs.

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.
