About the Team

The International TV Software team at Roku develops and delivers software for television platforms across international markets, with a focus on Europe and Australia. The team works closely with SOC partners to bring new TV products to market, develops software to meet regional broadcast standards, and supports certification with organizations such as ETV, the BBC, and DTG. The team operates across both new platform development and common software development projects, contributing to greenfield features as well as the ongoing evolution of Roku’s international TV software ecosystem. It is a collaborative, cross-functional team that values engineers who are curious, adaptable, and motivated to understand the full breadth of the systems they work on.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer on the Regional TV Software team, you will contribute to the development and delivery of software for regional TV platforms, working on both new TV platform projects and new software development projects. You will collaborate with SOC vendors, support certification processes with UK and European broadcast organizations, and help define and build new software features. This is a great opportunity for an engineer early in their career who is curious, collaborative, and motivated to grow across multiple areas of a complex software system.

What You’ll Be Doing

Developing and maintaining software for regional TV platforms (Europe and Australia), covering the full lifecycle from requirements definition to greenfield feature implementation.
Collaborating with SOC vendors and certification bodies (ETV, BBC, DTG) to support new projects and ensure compliance with regional standards like DVB-S/C/T, HbbTV (especially Op Apps), DVB-I etc.
Utilising and contributing to our suite of internal AI-driven tools designed to accelerate development and improve engineering productivity.
Troubleshooting and resolving technical issues across the software stack (primarily C++, with C, Python, and JavaScript) while working cross-functionally.

We’re Excited If You Have

Up to three years of software engineering experience with strong C/C++ skills and familiarity with Python.
A proactive “AI-adopter” mindset: experience using AI tools to write, debug, or optimize code and a drive to stay ahead of the curve in AI-assisted development.
An interest in embedded systems, Linux environments, or browser-based development (HTML).
A systems-level mindset—curiosity about how different parts of a system interact and a desire to learn broadly.
Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative approach to working through technical challenges.
