About the role

The mobile team ships the Roku Remote, Smart Home, and Howdy apps on iOS and Android.
Your job is to make that path fast, reliable, and cheap.
That includes QA Automation & Device Orchestration: the software systems that schedule, monitor, and recover the test infrastructure.

Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for iOS and Android on GitLab CI
Build smart test routing: analyze MR diffs to determine which tests need physical devices and which can run on emulators, so 80% of MRs never touch the device farm
Build flaky test detection and quarantine systems. Classify failures as infrastructure-caused vs. code-caused so engineers trust the signal
Build the device reservation and orchestration system that assigns devices to CI jobs, prevents contention, and maximizes utilization without manual scheduling
Implement priority-based test routing: device-touching MRs get farm time, UI-only MRs never queue for a device
Use AI to identify failure patterns, predict infrastructure issues, and continuously optimize pipeline performance
Deep understanding of mobile build systems (Xcode/xcodebuild, Gradle) and mobile-specific CI challenges (code signing, provisioning, multi-platform builds)

Advanced proficiency with AI-assisted development (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent) you use AI as your default approach to writing code, building systems, and solving infrastructure problems
Were excited if you have

Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent) for managing cloud and on-premises infrastructure
Working knowledge of WiFi and BLE protocols enough to understand why tests that exercise radio communication behaves differently from pure software tests
Experience with mobile test automation frameworks (XCUITest, Espresso, Appium) not to write tests, but to understand what they need from infrastructure
Experience scaling CI for high-volume, automated code generation (agentic engineering, bot-authored MRs)
Roku fosters an inclusive and collaborative environment where teams generally work in the office Monday through Thursday.
