About the Team
The Advanced Development team invents the next generation of intelligent generative and data-driven systems at Roku. We work ahead of production building prototypes that evolve into the foundations of future Roku productsincluding agentic LLM services internal automation platforms metadata pipelines and the infrastructure that supports them.
Youll join a small high-ownership group working across backend systems data engineering LLM tooling workflow orchestration and internal developer platforms. Its a fast-paced exploratory environment with a mandate to turn promising ideas into working software that delivers measurable value.
About the Role
Were looking for a software engineer with an analytics background to help build our next-generation intelligent internal tools and data platforms. Your work will empower the organization to turn raw data into actionable intelligence through robust and secure internal tooling.
In this role youll contribute to intelligent internal systems that help teams retrieve and analyze business metrics with speed and confidence. Youll work closely with LLM pipelines metadata platforms and SQL engines to build reliable interpretable backend logic. Youll also collaborate with senior engineers to develop components for our internal tools ecosystem and define how internal APIs can be safely exposed to AI-driven workflows.
What Youll Be Doing
- Build Data-Driven Applications: Design and develop full-stack web applications (React/) that translate complex data analyses into interactive executive dashboards and decision-support tools.
- Engineer AI & ML Solutions: Integrate LLMs chatbots and AI agents into product workflows to automate analytical tasks and extract insights from structured and unstructured data.
- Develop Robust Data Infrastructure: Build and maintain scalable data pipelines APIs and microservices that power automation data validation and real-time reporting systems.
- Drive Strategic Experimentation: Collaborate with stakeholders to align engineering initiatives with organizational goals including designing and executing A/B tests to measure impact and drive product direction.
- Cloud Deployment & Scaling: Deploy scale and monitor analytical tools and models on cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Kubernetes) to ensure high availability and optimal performance.
