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 Role

As a Software Engineer, Mobile at Roku, you will have the opportunity to join a team of highly skilled engineers, making your mark by designing and implementing new features while enhancing existing ones. You must enjoy working on mobile applications at all levels, from networking to user interfaces and everything in between. You will be self-motivated, ready to take on features or projects simply because the problem needs solving and shipping. However, success at Roku also requires strong collaboration skills, as you will work closely with other engineering teams, UI designers, product managers, and business leaders to bring ideas to life. This balance of independence and teamwork is key to thriving in our collaborative environment.

We are looking for a Software Engineer, Mobile with experience in building scalable apps to help us maintain our momentum and deliver high-quality applications as we continue to grow. The mobile team oversees the architecture and implementation of the services that power Roku's mobile applications, and they are collaborating with the Advance Development team at Roku to add new features across the mobile ecosystem.

About the Team

The Advanced Development team pushes the boundaries beyond product lines to build genuinely new things. We think independent of standard shipping cadences and timelines, working on foundational technologies that could impact every Roku device in the future and on ideas that no one’s seen in their living room.

Because this is an exceptional team, we are seeking 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 strong 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.

What you'll be doing

Rapidly iterate next generation mobile application to enable the prototyping of AI features.
Develop software for iOS and Android platforms.
Develop new features, perform A/B test experiments, device configuration, safely release to production, monitor analytics gathered from the applications
Improve existing products based on customer requirements and create delightful user experiences

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.
