What is the role?
The depth of query, content and user understanding using ML is key to user happiness in their search journey. Solving this customer problem is why we’re actively looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Search & Recommendations to drive further innovation in search and discovery. The person in this role will leverage their technical skills, business intuition, and analytical thinking to build best-of-class AI-powered products. Communication and presentation skills are important. The role requires both high technical acumen and problem-solving abilities, motivation, and exceptional attention to detail. Every day, you’ll look at what exists and find ways to make it better.
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 engineering toolchain — coding harnesses like 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.
