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. If you are passionate about creating innovative and robust mobile experiences, we’d love to hear from you

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.

• 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
