About the team
Our Firmware Engineering team is the bridge between hardware and software, the part that makes everything click. We focus on Roku Players, building everything from low-level drivers to features that touch the user interface. It’s a technically rich environment where you’ll get to solve real-world problems across multiple platforms.
We work across time zones and continents, but we’re deeply collaborative. We’re flexible by design - tech evolves fast and we love to keep pace. What unites us is a shared drive to ship clean, reliable, high-performance code that makes streaming seamless and joyful for millions of users.
We’re looking for an engineer who’s not just technically strong, but also curious, collaborative, and comfortable owning features end-to-end, from idea to release.
About the role
As a Senior Engineer, you’ll help build the embedded software systems that power Roku’s devices. You’ll be working deep in the stack, on everything from the bootloader up to performance-critical features of Roku OS. You’ll shape how our products interact with hardware, scale across platforms, and stay blazing fast.
You’ll also collaborate across disciplines: working with product managers to align on goals, partnering with QA to ensure rock-solid releases and teaming up with hardware vendors to bring our next-gen products to life.
We’re Excited If You Have
What You’ll Be Doing
Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources. Local benefits include statutory and voluntary benefits which may include healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), life, accident, disability, commuter, and retirement options (401(k)/pension). Our employees can take time off work for vacation and other personal reasons to balance their evolving work and life needs. It's important to note that not every benefit is available in all locations or for every role. For details specific to your location, please consult with your recruiter.
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.
