Teamwork makes the stream work.
Roku is changing how the world watches TV
Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, 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.
Join the Home Screen team — the engineers behind Roku's home screen and Browse Surfaces, the experience that greets every Roku user when they turn on the TV. We ship to hundreds of millions of devices. Work spans SceneGraph / BrightScript UI, an evolving TypeScript SDK, and the cloud services that drive layout, content, and experiments. We move fast, own features end-to-end, and partner tightly with product, design, ML, ads, and cloud.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives across the full stack of the home screen: client UI frameworks, APIs, and cloud-backed experiences — and who treats agentic AI as a real engineering practice, not a buzzword. You'll ship user-facing surfaces, harden the services and contracts behind them, and build (or extend) agents, skills, and harnesses that make the team faster in production.
You do not need to be a firmware or OS kernel engineer. Deep C++ or low-level OS work is a plus if you have it; the day-to-day bar is modern full-stack delivery on a constrained TV platform, plus proven agentic fluency.
For California only — estimated annual base salary: $141,300 – $360,700. Compensation packages vary by candidate (skill set, certifications, location). Role is eligible for health insurance, equity awards, life insurance, disability benefits, parental leave, wellness benefits, and paid time off.
At Roku, we don't just use AI — we work with it. Coding harnesses (Claude Code, Cursor, and similar), MCP servers, custom skills, and agent workflows are part of how this team ships. You should be able to drive an agent on an unfamiliar codebase, verify its output, and talk about what broke when you put multi-step agents on real systems.
