Senior Embedded Software Engineer, New Products
RokuAbout the team
When you work at Roku, you work on a platform that is used by real people: You can show off the fruits of your labor to your family and friends and see it in your favorite stores’ electronics departments.
As a member of the Roku Products Engineering team, you will design and develop embedded software systems that enable us to build world-class products, with Roku "inside" as their OS. To make this possible, you will work on the Roku OS on new technologies and develop new features while keeping our existing code clean and performant. Additionally, you will work with product managers to accommodate shifting demands and schedules; collaborate cross-functionally with our QA and other development teams; and build solutions with external hardware component vendors.
Because this is a senior level role with a high level of visibility, you must have a proven track record of designing, developing, and porting software for new hardware platforms, from prototype to mass production. We value people who pride themselves on their ability to navigate ambiguity, collaborate, and partner with both internal and external teams, who have demanding engineering standards and a passion to build the highest-performing, best-in-class consumer products.
We aren’t kidding that Roku is a place where no one is a bystander. If you want to work on a team where you will be surrounded by the best talent-building things used by millions of people, if you want a tech culture that just works, you should reach out.
