Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the US. 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 worldwide while gaining meaningful experience across various disciplines.

**About the role**
Roku's core OS organisation is looking for an experienced Engineer who specialises in deploying applications and services that support the software development process. Candidates should have experience deploying a variety of different workloads and applications in Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) best practices.

Candidates should be fluent in Python and have experience creating new automation and tools utilizing REST APIs and web services.

The work we do can be challenging, but that’s why we enjoy it so much. The ideal candidate isn’t a bystander. They are curious and engaged, willing to jump in to solve problems and make data-driven decisions even when things feel very ambiguous. Our industry changes quickly, so we expect a great candidate to be comfortable responding quickly to changing business needs, knowing that their own success comes when the team succeeds.

**What you’ll be doing**
Create and manage resources in AWS to deploy applications, tools and development solutions, using ‘infrastructure as code’ tools.
Write new automation, scripts and tools in Python.
Create monitoring tools or other development tools that provide timely feedback back to the development organisation.
Working with development to understand new tools and applications and architect hosting in AWS that leverages the power of cloud infrastructure.
We’re excited if you have
Experience with Amazon Web Services, including ECS, EKS, RDS, and EC2 and using IaC tools to manage them. (Terraform, AWS CDK, AWS CloudFormation)
3+ years writing solid, reliable Python scripts and applications using object-oriented principles.
Experience with AWS IAM – creating and managing policies and entities.
Experience creating and deploying Docker containers.
A solid understanding of TCP/IP network fundamentals and security practices. This includes networking, routing and firewalls.
AWS Solutions Architect – Associate Certification or equivalent.
**The Roku culture**
Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company’s success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We’re independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you’ll be part of a company that’s changing how the world watches TV.

We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn’t real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.
