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.

About The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, Android on the Roku Mobile App team, you will help shape the future of how millions of users interact with their Roku Streaming Devices. You’ll work on building intuitive, reliable, and highly performant Android experiences that allow customers to monitor and control Roku streaming devices from TVs to Players and beyond.

This role offers the opportunity to work across a modern, evolving tech stack including Kotlin, Compose, and Googles’s latest frameworks. You’ll collaborate closely with design, product, and cross-functional engineering teams to bring innovative features to life, improve performance, and make every day smart home interactions seamless.

You should be motivated by curiosity and initiative, eager to take ownership of features and run with them, while remaining grounded in a team-first, collaborative mindset.

About The Team

You will be joining a talented, high-performance team with a history of delivery. We are looking for someone who can help us keep up this pace and continue delivering high-quality app as we grow.

With so many people using our 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

Stay up to date with Android platform capabilities, tools, and libraries, and propose how we can leverage them
Contribute to roadmap planning, technical design, and release delivery

Experience working with IoT or networked device interactions is a big plus
