Senior Software Engineer (Java, AWS)

• Roku is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Enterprise Engineering team, focused on designing, building, and deploying scalable web applications and services that power critical business processes
• In this role, you will serve as a platform services developer, building innovative solutions using modern software frameworks and paradigms across a multi-tier, distributed architecture
• You will drive architecture discussions, take ownership of new projects, and deliver high-quality software within tight timelines
• You will partner closely with security, compliance, and cross-functional teams to ensure applications meet audit, security, and compliance requirements
• This role requires a self-driven problem solver with a strong background in building large-scale software platforms, microservices, and cloud-based systems
• You will also contribute to the continual improvement of engineering tools, cloud-based technologies, and development processes, playing an integral role in shaping the team’s technical direction
• How will I use AI at Roku?
• At Roku, AI agents do most of the keystroke-level coding
• Engineers act as the technical leads for those agents — setting architecture, reviewing output, and ensuring everything meets Roku’s quality bar
• If you’ve already shipped features where an AI agent wrote the initial code and you steered it to production, or you’ve built fluency across the agentic engineering toolchain — coding harnesses like Claude Code or Cursor, MCP servers, custom skills, or agent frameworks
• And you can describe a clear, repeatable workflow: how you prompt, how you scope tasks, how you drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you
• At Roku, we’re embracing AI as a powerful tool to amplify human creativity, accelerate innovation, and deliver better results across the company
• You already have experience using AI tools — or you’re excited to learn how — to enhance your work, make smarter decisions, and collaborate more effectively
• Whether you’re in engineering, marketing, finance, HR, or any other team, AI will be part of how you work here
• We want to talk to you
• Design, develop, and deploy scalable web applications and services, contributing to web technology and framework stack decisions, use case design, and data model design
• Drive architecture discussions, take ownership and responsibility over new projects, and deliver high-quality software within tight timelines
• Partner with security and compliance teams to ensure applications meet compliance, security, and audit requirements
• Participate in the continual improvement of engineering tools, cloud-based technologies and services, and development processes
• Define and participate in Agile development processes, including scoping, technical design, estimation, coding, testing, debugging, code reviews, maintenance, and support
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and demonstrate strong communication skills
• Develop and maintain microservices using modern frameworks and cloud-native technologies
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflows to support reliable and repeatable deployments
