Burbank, CA, 91505
ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll build and ship the Paramount+ Roku application used by millions of viewers. The Roku platform has constraints other platforms don't: tight memory budgets, a single‑threaded render loop, device hardware that ranges from flagship to five years old. You'll solve problems inside those constraints.
We write software that is simple to read, cheap to maintain, and built to last. You'll own features from design through deployment, work across agile teams, and help other engineers improve their craft.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Design, build, and maintain core Roku framework components and application features for Paramount+
Architect around Roku's constraints: memory limits, render‑thread/task‑thread boundaries, device performance tiers, and certification requirements
Use RSG 1.3 data transfer APIs, BrightScript Memory Monitor, and Perfetto tracing to find and fix performance problems before users hit them
Build real‑time personalization and engagement features—personalized recommendations, dynamic artwork, ad engagement—within Roku's memory and performance budgets
Write clear documentation for components, architecture decisions, and platform‑specific patterns
Measure and improve application performance and stability through instrumentation and observability
Work across agile teams and coordinate with backend engineering and DevOps/SRE on service builds and deploys
Review code, pair with teammates, and raise the quality bar across the team
Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines and testing infrastructure
Design and run A/B tests, then act on what the data says
Use AI development tools to move faster and share what works with the team
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
6+ years writing software
3+ years building Roku applications
BS in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent work experience
Strong understanding of OOP, data structures, and algorithms to design systems, not just interview questions
Experience with BrightScript and SceneGraph SDK, including RSG 1.3
Ability to explain Roku's memory model, the render‑thread/task‑thread split, device tiers, and certification requirements
RESTful API design and data serialization
Knowledge of Roku frameworks and services: RAF, RMF, RokuPay
Unit and integration testing on Roku
Understanding of HTTP protocol and caching behavior
Proficiency with Git and GitHub
Excellent communication of technical decisions to facilitate action
Experience using AI tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) to write and ship code faster
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with BrighterScript and Roku community tooling (ropm, bslint, roku‑debug)
Familiarity with other OTT platforms: Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, Samsung TV, LG webOS
Observability tools: Conviva, New Relic, Datadog, Sentry
Microservices and backend‑for‑frontend patterns
Worked with personalization or recommendation APIs on resource‑constrained devices
Docker and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins or similar)
Shared AI tools and workflows that save the team time
Strong UX sense; push back on Product and Design when something isn’t right
Comfort with saying "I don't know" when uncertain
Experience working across time zones without waiting for meetings to unblock
WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE
Open a 200‑file BrightScript repo you've never seen and start making changes the same day
Other engineers read your code and understand it without a walkthrough
Notice a memory spike on a Roku Express before QA files a ticket; fix it and document the incident
Track Roku OS releases and adopt new APIs when they solve a real problem, not just for novelty
Write architecture docs, component guides, and Slack explanations that save ten people from asking the same question
Push back when a plan has gaps and suggest a better one
Treat the build pipeline, test coverage, and error monitoring like product features
Make the people around you better at their jobs
