Teamwork makes the stream work.
Roku is changing how the world watches TV
Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. 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.
From your first day at Roku, you'll make a valuable - and valued - contribution. We're a fast-growing public company where no one is a bystander. We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines.
What is the role?
Roku is seeking a Senior QA Automation Architect to help evolve test automation capabilities from primarily AV-sync testing into broader audio quality coverage across Roku TVs, soundbars, and headphones. In this role, you will partner closely with the team lead to architect and advance the automation ecosystem, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven innovation through internal initiatives. You will design and implement test analysis systems that identify quality gaps, predict failure patterns, and optimize test effectiveness across products. This role requires a self-motivated, detail-oriented professional who thrives in fast-paced environments and is comfortable working through ambiguity while navigating evolving priorities. You will establish new methodologies for measuring and improving test quality beyond simple pass/fail metrics, focusing on regression prevention and production reliability. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in test architecture, embedded systems automation, and AI-powered quality assurance, and is excited to drive meaningful transformation in how Roku tests and delivers audio experiences.
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 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.
What are the responsibilities of the role?
Design and implement test analysis systems that identify quality gaps, predict failure patterns, and optimise test effectiveness
Design systems that collect, analyse, and act on testing data to continuously improve quality processes
Leverage AI-powered tools to implement test automation, failure analysis, and root cause identification
Establish new methodologies for measuring and improving test quality beyond simple pass/fail metrics, focusing on regression prevention and production reliability
Define and implement architectural patterns that make testing more effective, maintainable, and aligned with business impact
Drive systematic regression tracking and implement processes to prevent regression reoccurrence
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align quality initiatives with broader engineering goals
Mentor engineers on best practices in test architecture, automation design, and AI-assisted quality assurance
What experience would help someone be successful in this role at Roku?
Expertise in test architecture and automation systems design
Programming experience across multiple languages, with Python as a core requirement
Expertise in test automation with embedded systems in the loop
Proven track record driving test transformation initiatives that significantly improved test effectiveness and reduced production issues
Ability to design, implement, and optimize solutions leveraging AI tools and predictive analytics for quality assurance
Knowledge of continuous integration tools (Jenkins, GitLab, TeamCity, AWS) and their optimization for quality gates
Experience with test flakiness analysis, failure pattern recognition, and automated root cause identification
Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to influence senior leadership and cross-functional teams on quality initiatives
Experience mentoring engineers and driving organisational change in testing practices
Experience as a project QA or development lead, or in a similar capacity
Certifications or training in AI/ML or AI-driven testing approaches
