About the role
Roku is seeking a Senior AI Transformation Engineer to join the AI Enablement Team and drive end-to-end delivery of agentic AI systems that measurably transform how work gets done across Roku. In this role, you will embed directly with business and technical teams — including Legal, FP&A, Accounting, Brand, Customer Support, and Engineering — to discover the highest-value opportunities for AI-powered automation and deliver production-grade solutions. You will own the full lifecycle from opportunity identification and scoping through system design, build, deployment, and adoption, operating as a self-directed contributor who thrives in ambiguity and can navigate complex organizational dynamics. This is a hands-on builder role that requires strong software engineering fundamentals, deep AI expertise, and a product-oriented mindset focused on adoption and measurable business impact, not demos. You will go beyond point solutions to reimagine how entire functions operate as AI-native, agent-powered systems, and you will codify reusable patterns back into Roku's broader AI platform strategy. The ideal candidate brings technical depth, cross-functional collaboration skills, and the ability to drive change management that ensures the solutions you build are trusted and actively used.
For California Only - The estimated annual base salary for this position is between $242,200 - $486,000. Compensation packages are based on factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, certifications, and specific geographical location. This role is eligible for health insurance, equity awards, life insurance, disability benefits, parental leave, wellness benefits, and paid time off.
How will I use AI at Roku?
At Roku, we don't just use AI; we work with it. AI agents and smart tools help power drafts, analysis, and repetitive workflows, while our people bring direction, judgment, and accountability. We're looking for curious, adaptable builders who can show how they've used AI or automation to move faster, raise the bar, and scale their impact.
We value your AI skills if you have built fluency across the agentic engineering toolchain — coding harnesses like Claude Code or Cursor, MCP servers, custom skills, or agent frameworks. And you can describe projects where you shipped real work with these tools. You know how to drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you.
