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.

With engineers across the US, Canada, Mexico, and India, Tech Ops monitors ad delivery, CDN infrastructure, live feeds, and content pipelines 24/7, triaging and resolving issues before they reach viewers.

The team sits at the intersection of Engineering, Content Operations, Live Operations, and Advertising — owning escalation paths, SLA frameworks, and high-visibility launch support.

Beyond incident response, Tech Ops invests in automation and tooling to reduce toil and scale with the platform. As Roku's ecosystem grows, we're building smarter operations to match. The platform never sleeps, and neither do we!
