About the role
Roku is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Staff scope) for the Ad Serving Team in Massachusetts to scale a high-throughput, real-time platform. You will own subsystems, drive architecture, testing, deployment, and on-call responsibilities while mentoring peers in a distributed, low-latency environment. The role emphasizes ownership, collaboration with data scientists, and applying AI/ML-driven techniques to production decisioning.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
