Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the US, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. 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 around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines.

We are looking for a talented, senior-level PQ algorithm engineer with a strong SW background to support Roku’s TV Platform Picture Quality (PQ) team working on PQ improvements. Are you an engineer who enjoys a challenge? Come work on one of the most popular streaming platforms, currently running on one in every three smart TVs sold in North America!

About the role

In this role, you will improve existing and develop new (mostly SW based/controlled) video algorithms for various Roku platforms, which increases the viewing experience and/or cost efficiency. You will work with different SoC hardware and software components, and design scalable solutions.

Algorithmically reverse engineering from competitor analysis
Drive SoC partners for improvements

We’re excited if you have

10+ years of relevant video processing algorithm development experience

Preferably in SoC or TCON based processing

Hands on and excellent C/C++ coding skills to allow for quick prototyping and experiments

Excel working in a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment.
Excellent communication skills

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.
