LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER — ROKU
Location: On-Site - New York / Los Angeles / San Francisco / Ft. Lauderdale
You'll own the technical direction of the Paramount+ Roku application — the platform, the patterns, the architecture. This is a hands-on leadership role where you write and review code and set the standard for a team of engineers shipping features to millions of viewers.
Roku's constraints — tight memory budgets, a single-threaded render loop, hardware spanning five years of device generations — are the environment you thrive in, not just tolerate. You know these constraints well enough to teach them, and you'll lead a team through them.
Set technical direction for the Paramount+ Roku application — choose the patterns, own the architecture, defend the decisions Build and maintain core framework components and features — this is a hands-on role where you ship code Lead a team of Roku engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and feedback that helps people grow• Architect around Roku's constraints: memory limits, render-thread/task-thread boundaries, device performance tiers, and certification requirements• Ship real-time personalization features — personalized recommendations, dynamic artwork, and ad engagement experiences — within Roku's memory and threading constraints Drive adoption of RSG 1.3 data transfer APIs, BrightScript Memory Monitor, and Perfetto tracing across the team Scope projects, identify risks before they become blockers, and keep the team shipping Coordinate with Product, Design, Backend Engineering, and DevOps/SRE to translate requirements into plans your team can execute Write architecture docs, RFCs, and component guides so decisions are visible and durable Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, testing infrastructure, and build tooling Design and run A/B tests, then act on the results Use AI development tools to move faster, and help the team adopt them
WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE
Your team ships on time because you scoped the work correctly — not because anyone worked weekends Engineers on your team grow quarter over quarter. They take on harder problems this quarter than last. You can name what changed You open a 200-file BrightScript repo you've never seen and start making changes the same day — and you've given your team the docs and context to do the same• You notice a memory spike on a Roku Express before QA files a ticket. You fix it, write up what happened, and turn it into a pattern the team follows• You write architecture decisions down. Six months later, a new engineer reads one and understands why you chose what you chose You push back when a plan has gaps and suggest a better one — without making people feel small You treat the build pipeline, test coverage, and error monitoring like product features You make the people around you better at their jobs. They'd say so if asked
