Roku is changing how the world watches TVRoku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, 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.
About the teamThe Advertising Performance group focuses on performance for all participants in the Advertising ecosystem - Advertisers, Publishers and Roku. The systems and solutions span across different disciplines and technologies to perform realtime multi-objective optimization with distributed systems at large scale and low latencies. We use Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, AI, Control and Optimization Systems and Auction Dynamics to solve a large set of complex problems. At the core of this is our Machine Learning, Experimentation and Inference Platform that powers the entire landscape which we continuously evolve over time.
About the roleWe are seeking a talented and experienced Senior Software Engineer, MLOps/DevOps to join the Advertising Performance team and play a critical role in supporting and scaling our Machine Learning infrastructure. The ideal candidate has a strong background in DevOps/SRE practices, cloud infrastructure management, and MLOps tooling — with a passion for building platforms that accelerate ML experimentation and deployment at internet scale.
You will partner closely with ML Scientists and Engineers to streamline the end-to-end ML lifecycle across training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring — on top of a modern, cloud-native stack running on GCP and AWS using Kubernetes, Apache Airflow, Spark, Ray, MLflow, Chronon, etc.
What you’ll be doing- Lead the design and operation of scalable, production-grade cloud infrastructure for ML workloads across AWS and GCP, including GPU/TPU-based training and inference environments.
- Architect and improve CI/CD systems for ML models and platform services to enable fast, reliable, and safe production releases.
- Own and evolve low-latency infrastructure for real-time model inference, including KV store and vector databases.
- Define and enforce observability standards for ML systems, including model performance monitoring, drift detection, capacity planning, and pipeline health metrics.
- Participate in on-call rotation, leading incident response and root-cause analysis for critical ML training and serving infrastructure.
- Partner with data scientists and ML engineers to improve platform usability, accelerate model iteration, and implement strong MLOps and SRE best practices.
- Champion operational excellence across ML infrastructure through automation, resilience engineering, disaster recovery planning, and continuous improvement.
We’re excited if you have- BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
- 8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or ML infrastructure, including 4+ years supporting large-scale ML or AI systems.
- Strong programming skills in Python and/or Scala or Java for platform automation and tooling.
- Deep experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration on GCP (GKE) and/or AWS (EKS).
- Expertise with NoSQL or low-latency data stores such as Aerospike or similar technologies.
- Hands-on experience with data and orchestration technologies such as Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Apache Airflow, and Kafka.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD systems using tools such as Jenkins or GitLab Runner.
- Familiarity with feature engineering platforms such as Chronon and model lifecycle tools such as MLflow.
- Strong infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform or similar tooling.
- Experience with observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

The Roku CultureRoku 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.
