Senior Software Engineer - Devops

About the role

The Ads Customer Interfaces team builds full-stack web applications, APIs, UIs, and ETL pipelines that serve as the primary interface between Roku's advertising platform and both internal and external customers. Our mission is to deliver a best-in-class user experience by simplifying complex business workflows, enabling users to focus on their customers rather than tedious processes.
