Software Engineer, Agentic AI

Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and they are seeking a hands-on, systems-oriented Agentic AI Engineer to design, build, and maintain intelligent agents for Roku TV. This role involves owning the full lifecycle of agent development and contributing directly to Roku’s AI strategy by engineering reusable components and optimizing workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Architect, develop, and deploy AI agents and copilots for Roku TV use cases, integrating them with internal systems, tools, and services
• Own end-to-end agentic systems from concept to production, including model selection, prompt and context design, retrieval strategies, backend services, and conversational interfaces
• Design and implement single-agent and multi-agent orchestration patterns, including handoffs, delegation, and cooperative task execution
• Build scalable RAG and context pipelines that provide high-quality grounding for AI systems and keep them aligned with evolving data sources and business logic
• Implement tool-calling, function-calling, and MCP-style integrations so agents can safely take actions and interact with the systems around them
• Create reusable agent templates, modular components, and paved-path patterns that accelerate adoption across teams and use cases
• Establish strong evaluation, observability, and monitoring for conversation quality, task success rate, latency, cost, and overall system performance
• Build safeguards that improve production readiness and reliability, including testing pipelines, controlled rollouts, drift detection, and mechanisms that prevent error amplification in multi-step workflows
• Prototype quickly, run experiments, and translate successful ideas into durable, scalable software solutions
• Partner closely with engineering, product, QA, infrastructure, and cross-functional teams to deliver meaningful business and customer outcomes
