Job Description
An employer based in the Los Angeles area is looking for a Roku Developer working remotely in either LA, NY, SF, Seattle and Atlanta. You will be supporting an internal facing video streaming application (such as Netflix or HBO) for specific clients and internal employees only. They can view pre-release content, before it is released to the public, so experience with privacy rights, management and procedures are important. This person will be working on the ROKU platform specifically.

They also need experience in packaging the finished application and publishing it to the App Store.

35%: Implementing new features, creating production builds, and deploying apps on the Roku Channel Store
