Roku is hiring for a Senior Staff/Principal Infrastructure Engineer opportunity with a leading global product company that's building its next-generation cloud-agnostic hosting platform. In this role, you'll architect and scale Kubernetes-based infrastructure, service mesh, and cloud platforms that power hundreds of production workloads. You'll work with Kubernetes, Istio/Envoy, Terraform, AWS, Docker, Go, Python, CI/CD, and observability tools while collaborating closely with the Platform, SRE, and Infrastructure teams.

- Experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or Thanos.
- Proven technical leadership experience, driving architecture, mentoring engineers, and influencing platform strategy across multiple teams.
