Opportunity

Our engineering team is building the next generation of inspirational entertainment-where audiences don't just watch, they participate. From creating streaming experiences that connect fans directly with the stories they love, to empowering creators through community-backed technology, we're redefining how entertainment is made and shared.

You'll join a high-energy, cross-functional team of developers, designers, and product leaders working to make Angel Studios' viewing experience seamless, intuitive, and uplifting across TV platforms. You'll have ownership over projects that shape how millions of fans discover and engage with the content they've helped bring to life.

This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, loves crafting user-facing interfaces, and wants to help pioneer the future of people-powered entertainment.

What You'll Do

Build the Experience:

Create beautiful, scalable, and intuitive user-facing interfaces across our apps-web, mobile, and TV.

Collaborate Across Teams:

Work hand-in-hand with designers, product managers, and backend developers to deliver high-quality features that delight our community.

Shape the Platform:

Contribute to the architecture, reliability, and scalability of systems that power our streaming and community engagement experiences.

Own Your Outcomes:

Take full responsibility for the results of your work-leveraging data, feedback, and creative problem-solving to continuously improve.

Innovate and Iterate:

Prototype, test, and refine ideas quickly. Help Angel stay at the forefront of audience-driven entertainment technology.

Mentor and Elevate:

Share your knowledge with peers and help raise the bar for code quality, design thinking, and user empathy.

What You'll Need
• 5 years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on Roku development.
• Deep expertise in BrightScript, SceneGraph, and the Roku SDK, including experience delivering and maintaining production apps in the Roku ecosystem.
• Solid understanding of Roku channel architecture, UI design principles, and performance optimization techniques.
• Experience integrating RESTful APIs, analytics, video players (RAF, HLS, DRM), and external data sources into Roku applications.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control (GitHub), and release management for OTT platforms.
• Ability to collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers to bring intuitive, high-performance interfaces to life.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills-able to diagnose and resolve memory, rendering, or streaming performance issues across devices.
• Passion for writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code that sets the standard for quality.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment-balancing creativity with precision and accountability.
• A genuine excitement for Angel's mission to amplify light and help shape the future of inspirational streaming experiences.
