Roku

Roku is a streaming TV platform company that pioneered the delivery of streaming content to the television and home entertainment. Its streaming platform is described as the number one such service in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and reaches millions of users worldwide. The company describes its mission as changing how the world watches TV.

The engineering organisation works across device engineering, machine learning, advertising technology, content discovery and streaming technology. Product areas span consumer electronics and devices, television, advertising technology and content discovery, with the consumer experience kept at the centre of what is built. Technical teams collaborate across these disciplines rather than working in isolation.

Roku characterises its team as small enough that individual engineers have meaningful impact yet large enough to reach millions of users. Engineers ship to production daily. The company operates with asynchronous communication as a default, writing where a meeting might otherwise be held, and optimises for focused work rather than physical presence. Ownership and accountability are expected of everyone; the company values people who respond quickly to changing business needs in a fast-moving industry.

The company operates in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with users worldwide.
