Senior Software Engineer, Agentic AI

Roku · Cambridge

Teamwork makes the stream work. Roku is changing how the world watches TV Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. Our mission is to be the TV streaming platform that connects the entire TV ecosystem. We connect consumers to the content they love, enable content publishers to build and monetize large audiences, and provide advertisers unique capabilities to engage consumers. From your first day at Roku, you'll make a valuable - and valued - contribution. We're a fast-growing public company where no one is a bystander. We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines. What does the team work on? At Roku, the Device Monetization and Themed Experiences (DMTE) team, a part of the Advertising organization, is where the magic behind the scenes happens. We're the engineers who build the high-performance graphics and UI foundations that power the AD Display — the core technology enabling Roku's smooth, responsive, and visually rich experiences on millions of devices worldwide. Our work lives in the middleware and UI layers, and its impact is felt every time a user navigates a menu, enjoys an animated ad, or is wowed by the bespoke experience built to market the latest TV show or Movies. We thrive on solving the toughest technical challenges — from optimizing UI rendering to fine-tuning memory usage — using BrightScript (a JavaScript-like language) to deliver rock-solid, high-performance solutions. We work in a collaborative, high-trust environment where great ideas can come from anywhere, partnering closely with firmware, UI, and product teams to ensure our platform is lightning fast, reliable, and ready for the next generation of streaming innovation. If you love building the invisible foundations that make great user experiences possible, this is the team for you. What is the role? As a Senior Agentic AI Engineer in the DMTE team, you'll be the driving force behind embedding intelligent, autonomous AI capabilities into Roku's platform — reimagining how our systems create, optimize, and deliver experiences to tens of millions of devices. Rather than building UI features directly, you'll design and deploy agentic AI systems that reason, plan, and act across our development and delivery pipelines — from automating the generation of themed experiences to enabling self-optimizing rendering workflows within the AD Display. You'll leverage your years of experience in software engineering and building world class UI to build AI agents that understand the constraints of embedded, performance-critical systems and operate effectively within them. This is a role for engineers who think in terms of autonomous systems, multi-step reasoning, and tool-use architectures — and who want to fundamentally reshape how a streaming platform is built, maintained, and evolved. How will I use AI at Roku? At Roku, we don’t just use AI, we work with it. AI agents and smart tools help power drafts, analysis, and repetitive workflows, while our people bring direction, judgment, and accountability. We’re looking for curious, adaptable builders who can show how they’ve used AI or automation to move faster, raise the bar, and scale their impact. We value your AI skills if have 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 projects where you shipped real work with these tools. You know how to drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you. What are the responsibilities of the role? Apply strong software engineering principles to design, build, and ship reliable, performant systems at scale Bring rigorous software engineering practices — clean architecture, testing, code review - to building systems that are reliable and performant at scale<
