Agentic AI Engineer
As a Senior Agentic AI Engineer, you will lead the integration of intelligent, autonomous AI capabilities into Roku's platform, focusing on designing and deploying agentic AI systems that create, optimize, and deliver experiences. Your responsibilities will include automating the generation of themed experiences and enabling self-optimizing rendering workflows within the FRAME engine. This role is for engineers who think in terms of autonomous systems and multi-step reasoning to reshape how a streaming platform is built and evolved.
At Roku, the Device Monetization and Themed Experiences (DMTE) team, a part of the Advertising organization, is where the magic behind the scenes happens. We're the engineers who build the high-performance graphics and UI foundations that power the FRAME engine — the core technology enabling Roku's smooth, responsive, and visually rich experiences on millions of devices worldwide. Our work lives in the middleware and UI layers, and its impact is felt every time a user navigates a menu, enjoys an animated ad, or is wowed by the bespoke experience built to market the latest TV show or Movies. We thrive on solving the toughest technical challenges — from optimizing UI rendering to fine-tuning memory usage — using BrightScript (a JavaScript-like language) to deliver rock-solid, high-performance solutions. We work in a collaborative, high-trust environment where great ideas can come from anywhere, partnering closely with firmware, UI, and product teams to ensure our platform is lightning fast, reliable, and ready for the next generation of streaming innovation. If you love building the invisible foundations that make great user experiences possible, this is the team for you.
As a Senior Agentic AI Engineer in the DMTE team, you'll be the driving force behind embedding intelligent, autonomous AI capabilities into Roku's platform — reimagining how our systems create, optimize, and deliver experiences to tens of millions of devices. Rather than building UI features directly, you'll design and deploy agentic AI systems that reason, plan, and act across our development and delivery pipelines — from automating the generation of themed experiences to enabling self-optimizing rendering workflows within the FRAME engine. You'll leverage your years of experience in software engineering and building world class UI to build AI agents that understand the constraints of embedded, performance-critical systems and operate effectively within them. This is a role for engineers who think in terms of autonomous systems, multi-step reasoning, and tool-use architectures — and who want to fundamentally reshape how a streaming platform is built, maintained, and evolved.
