Job description

• Expertise in Production-proven command of Roku SceneGraph, thread isolation on constrained hardware platforms (e.g., 512MB/A53-class), and contract-driven architecture.
• Demonstrable evidence of architecting a streaming application of equivalent complexity.
• At least one successfully shipped Roku application currently in the field that passed full Roku Channel Certification.
• Strong capability integrating third-party SDKs for advertising frameworks (RAF), advanced metrics, and content delivery network optimization.
• Ability to define and drive specification-driven development utilizing AI tools is highly preferred.

Job Responsibilities:

• Maintain active, daily collaboration overlap with the engineering pod across critical sprint cycles. Commit to flexible hours as necessary to bridge time zones and prevent delivery roadblocks.
• Review feature module implementations and enforce structural rules regarding SceneGraph performance, memory safety, and field-change contracts. Share joint milestone sign-off authority with internal SMEs.
• Lead pre-certification technical assessments evaluating platform-specific nuances including deep-link handling, exit behavior, screensaver compliance, accessibility implementation, and instrumentation completeness.
• Author comprehensive troubleshooting playbooks and maintain a reference code repository with annotated examples using BrightScript/observability tools for rapid root-cause identification. Integrate review checklists into the CI/CD pull request pipeline.
• Seamlessly align with EchoStar's bi-weekly Sprint cadence, weekly release cadence, and product roadmap touchpoints.
