About this role and the team at Roku. Senior DevOps / SRE engineer for Roku's streaming platform in Bengaluru — operate container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS), infrastructure automation (Terraform / Ansible) on AWS, CI/CD and observability for high-availability services at global traffic scale. This listing on cloudsoftsol.com is curated for engineers in India who are actively interviewing for senior cloud, DevOps and SRE roles. If you are seeking a multi-year career platform rather than a stop-gap, this listing rewards depth — read the responsibilities and requirements below carefully and tailor your application to the specifics. We do not charge candidates a fee for placement assistance; companies sponsor our involvement.

Responsibilities

Manage container orchestration (Kubernetes and Amazon ECS) and infrastructure automation for Roku's streaming platform, provisioning the AWS estate as code with Terraform and configuration via Ansible. Build CI/CD pipelines and observability stacks (metrics, logs, traces) so that services for a global streaming audience deploy safely and are deeply instrumented. Apply SRE principles for high-availability streaming services: SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, autoscaling, and progressive-delivery patterns (canary, blue-green) often via a service mesh (Istio / Linkerd). Work on networking, security and scaling at global traffic levels — CDN / edge interaction, load balancing, multi-region resilience and cost efficiency. Automate operational toil with Go and / or Python tooling, run blameless post-incident reviews, and own on-call for critical services. Partner with product and platform teams to harden microservices and improve reliability across the streaming stack.

Requirements & qualifications

5+ years of DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineering experience, with strong production Kubernetes (and / or ECS) and AWS. Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and configuration management with Ansible. CI/CD pipeline ownership and observability stack experience (Prometheus, Grafana, logging, tracing). SRE fundamentals: SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, incident response at scale. Service-mesh experience (Istio / Linkerd) and solid networking knowledge are strong pluses. Programming in Go and / or Python at automation-quality level. Experience operating high-traffic, globally-distributed services is highly valued. Bachelor's in CS / IT or equivalent; relevant cloud / Kubernetes certifications a plus.

Why this role in 2026

Roku operates one of the world's largest streaming platforms, so its DevOps / SRE engineers solve genuinely large-scale reliability and traffic problems — global distribution, edge interaction, and millions of concurrent devices.

Application tips

Apply directly on the Roku careers site (link below). Emphasise experience operating high-traffic, globally-distributed systems and any work on streaming, CDN / edge, or device-scale services. Quantify scale and reliability impact (requests/sec handled, availability achieved, MTTR reductions). Strong coding ability (Go / Python) is weighted heavily for the 'Software Engineer' framing of this SRE role.

Interview preparation

Expect a recruiter screen, a coding round (Go or Python — data structures / systems-flavoured), a Kubernetes / AWS / Terraform technical round, an SRE system-design round (design a globally-distributed, highly-available streaming service with autoscaling and a service mesh), and a hiring-manager / values round. Brush up on Kubernetes networking, service-mesh traffic shaping, capacity planning, and incident management at scale.

Career growth

Track: Senior Software Engineer (DevOps / SRE) → Staff SRE / Platform Engineer → Principal Engineer or Engineering Manager. The consumer-internet, global-scale experience is a strong launchpad into senior platform and SRE leadership roles across product companies.
