- Because this is an exceptional team, we are seeking exceptional talent. Everyone here is an expert but without the myopia of over-specialization

- With a variety of projects on the horizon, your work will go wherever innovation takes us, across diverse platforms such as RokuOS, Mobile, and cloud solutions
- You'll define the vision for our cutting-edge EdgeAI internal and external products, driving the strategic roadmap for engineering teams
- You'll collaborate with a world-class team of designers, engineers, and researchers, contributing across the entire lifecycle of ideating, building, and optimizing next-generation intelligent experiences
Our take
According to Nielsen data, the average streamer spends over seven minutes searching for something to watch. Streaming services use customers' viewing history to make suggestions, but these are limited to programs licensed for that particular service.
Roku provides an integrated streaming service that offers TV channels, movies and third-party streaming services, resulting in an all-in-one streaming platform. The service can be accessed through a variety of customized subscription packages and fees.
Roku stands out in the streaming industry by bringing many competitors together in one package. The startup provides further innovative services such as a weekly TV series named 'Roku Recommends' which uses first-party data to recommend essential viewing to users. Alongside funding filmmakers through its "Change Makers Program", Roku also acquired its own original library of shows through its acquisition of now-defunct Quibi's library in 2021. After successful collaborations with TCL and Hisense, the first in-house "Roku Television" was released in 2023, further exemplifying the streaming company's wider ambitions in the media sector.
