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.

About the Team

We’re a distributed team working across multiple continents and time zones, focused on building high-quality software releases for Roku’s latest player devices. We move fast, adapt quickly, and care deeply about making products that are easy—and joyful—for customers to use. Interns are treated as real contributors: you’ll work with engineers, QA, product managers, and other partners, and you’ll get support through mentoring, feedback, and structured onboarding.

About the role

This internship is a great fit for a student going into their Placement Year who’s interested in embedded software development and software quality. You’ll help improve product quality and developer efficiency by contributing to automatable tests, debugging issues, and improving testing workflows for C/C++ applications running on embedded/Linux-based systems.

We offer a paid 12 month internship, starting in September 2026.
