Strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and how to write clean, tested code
Proficiency in at least one programming language, such as Python, Go, TypeScript, Java, or C#
Evidence that you have built and shipped something real, such as a project, product, or tool that other people use
Hands-on experience using AI coding tools to build software
Ability to work in fast-paced teams
Constantly looking for new ways to improve and accelerate a function
Availability to work full time in the office in New York, for the full 18 weeks

What the job involves

The Rokt Residency is an 18 week, full-time, paid early-career program for software engineers working out of our office in New York City
This cohort of residencies will run from January 12th 2027 through to May 18th 2027
Residents will have the opportunity to receive full-time offers to join Rokt as Builders on the completion of their residency
We are an AI-first company. We’re a team of builders. That means the person who spots the problem is usually the person who fixes it, and “someone should build a tool for that” is treated as a volunteer sign-up sheet. We use AI and automation tools to move faster, and expect you to figure things out when the path isn’t obvious
Rokt Builders use AI coding agents to write, test, and review code, which means a small team ships what used to take a large one
Teams use AI to investigate production issues, generate test coverage, and prototype new features in hours instead of weeks. Residents get the same enterprise AI tools from day one and are expected to use them to build faster
Build and deploy production services and features on a Rokt engineering team, from prototype through to release
Use AI tools and automation to speed up coding, testing, and deployment
Find performance bottlenecks and use data to improve systems that run at the scale of billions of transactions
Work with product managers, designers, and senior Builders to ship features that drive revenue for Rokt and its partners
Deliver measurable contribution to your team by the end of the Residency

Our take

eCommerce marketing company Rokt is helping brands leverage the power of good timing. With Rokt, brands can present their customers with AI-curated offers and messages at every stage in their transaction, at tailored times of the day, or to market themselves at the point of transaction on other major eCommerce sites.

The idea is that “transaction moments” are when shoppers are most inclined to engage further with the brand or its products - the success of Rokt’s clients, and the runaway success of Rokt itself, show that it's successfully cracked it.

Rokt has a strong client base that includes giants like PayPal, Groupon, GoDaddy, and Disney, and after hitting Unicorn status, it is eyeing up a US IPO. This should come as no surprise - the surge in eCommerce trade over recent years has led to most companies investing in tools to stay competitive.

Rokt has expanded its tool suite since it first started up, and will be focused on continuing to innovate to keep ahead of the MarTech pack, and abreast of changing demand in the rapidly shifting market. The eCommerce marketing tech sector has ballooned to a $120 billion global operation - and Rokt is positioned comfortably to keep ahead.
