About the team 

Our talented and diverse UX team delights users one design at a time, while building and enhancing a UX culture within Roku that nurtures our ongoing enrichment and elevates the UX maturity across the company and the industry.    

We believe that great user experiences come from people who have the vision to see the big picture on the macro side while still maintaining incredible attention to detail on the micro side. More than ability to keep the vision while managing the minutiae, we need someone who can play three-dimensional chess on the axes of what our customers need and what our world-class engineers can produce while keeping things as elegantly easy as possible.
