About the Team

With so many people using Roku’s products globally, we’ve become well-known for products that “just work” right out of the box and integrate almost by magic. That doesn’t happen by accident, which is why we are committed to making sure our products aren’t just intuitive, they’re obvious. To support that commitment, our Labs and Innovation team at Roku works across organisations with company leadership, cross-functional stakeholders, and our internal teams to help manage the development, testing, and release of products and features. Our team focuses in providing custom environments suitable for facilitating manual and automation testing, in a scalable manner, that helps improve efficiency to enhance productivity of all engineering teams. We accomplish this by using state of the art technology and engineering to make it happen, with consideration for the customer as the center of all that we do.

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.
