The International TV Software team at Roku develops and delivers software for television platforms across international markets, with a focus on Europe and Australia. The team works closely with SOC partners to bring new TV products to market, develops software to meet regional broadcast standards, and supports certification with organizations such as ETV, the BBC, and DTG. The team operates across both new platform development and common software development projects, contributing to greenfield features as well as the ongoing evolution of Roku’s international TV software ecosystem.

It is a collaborative, cross-functional team that values engineers who are curious, adaptable, and motivated to understand the full breadth of the systems they work on.
