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.

Are you interested in contributing to the development of Roku’s next-generation, cloud-agnostic hosting platform? We are seeking professionals with expertise in Terraform, Kubernetes, and Istio, as well as proficiency in Golang, Python, or Shell for application and automation development. If you are eager to join a multinational team dedicated to designing and creating this innovative platform, we encourage you to apply for this role.

For Massachusetts Only - The estimated annual salary for this position is between $117,000 - $306,000 annually.

Compensation packages are based on factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, certifications, and specific geographical location.

This role is eligible for health insurance, equity awards, life insurance, disability benefits, parental leave, wellness benefits, and paid time off.

 

About the team 

The central Infrastructure Engineering team is looking for highly skilled infrastructure and software engineers to help develop and drive Roku’s service mesh hosting architecture. Our team is responsible for building and scaling the Platform (Kubernetes, Istio, Envoy, operators, and more) to affect Roku’s transition towards a unified, cloud-agnostic system where all teams speak the same infrastructure language. We are engaging with 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 engineers who love working collaboratively across teams to achieve results that impact the entire company.  

 

What you’ll be doing: 

  • Help architect, design, build, and deploy Roku’s next-generation service mesh and cloud infrastructure. 
  • Contribute to evolving our deployments by building solutions using Docker, Kubernetes, Istio/Envoy, and Terraform. 
  • Join in efforts to investigate new technology and tools to be adopted by Roku.  
  • Help build and integrate security as part of the infrastructure. 
  • Collaborate on internal customer engagements as we migrate workloads to Kubernetes + Istio + open-source observability tools and technologies. 
  • Work closely with the Observability team to integrate and scale existing and new observability tools as part of a holistic solution. 
  • Work closely with the SRE team to maintain the availability of our services and improve onboarding workflows. 
  • Mentor other team members to define and adopt new or improve existing processes and procedures. 

 

We’re excited if you have: 

  • Strong hands-on experience in cloud technologies. AWS, ECS, and Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, or others) are preferred. Knowledge of another cloud platform like GCP or Azure is a plus but not required. 
  • A demonstrated understanding of overall infrastructure design and developing tools to enable and automate the infrastructure.  
  • Experience with a high-level scripting language (such as Python) and a system programming language (such as Go). 
  • Strong experience with Kubernetes.
  • Production experience in testing and deploying applications via modern CI/CD tools and concepts 
  • Familiarity with Observability tools like Prometheus, Thanos, Loki, Grafana, etc. 
  • The drive and self-motivation to understand the intricate details of a complex infrastructure environment.   
  • Ability to work independently. 
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical project stakeholders.   
  • Experience with integrating AI tools to improve processes and reduce toil is a plus. 
  • Master’s degree or equivalent experience (8+ years)

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.
