Senior UX Product Designer, Live

About the team  

Our talented and diverse UX team delights users one design at a time, while building and enhancing a UX culture within Roku that nurtures our ongoing enrichment and elevates the UX maturity across the company and the industry.  

We believe that great user experiences come from people who have the vision to see the big picture on the macro side while still maintaining incredible attention to detail on the micro side. More than ability to keep the vision while managing the minutiae, we need someone who can play three-dimensional chess on the axes of what our customers need and what our world-class engineers can produce while keeping things as elegantly easy as possible.    

About the Role 

Roku is looking for a talented, well-rounded Senior Product Designer who can create useful and easy-to-use streaming experiences. For this role, we need a senior interaction designer with extensive experience on consumer-facing products. This person is both a thinker and a maker - someone that is comfortable with thinking about customer value while still maintaining a command of design details. We want someone who is fluent whether speaking with designers, product managers or engineers, with a track record of driving concepts all the way to launch.  

This person is focused on design excellence and thoughtful about delivering design solutions that create engagement. The ideal candidate will have a track record of creating impactful experiences in the streaming industry. This person must be an independent operator, able to push projects forward on their own, while still proactively seeking stakeholder feedback and approvals. 

What you’ll be doing 

• Conceptualize and deliver design for Roku’s Live experience and The Roku Channel both independently and/or collectively with other designers  
• Utilize user journeys, frameworks and design principles in order to frame your design approach 
• Communicate effectively - articulating design rationale and creating effective design artifacts (wireframes, flows, specs, etc.) 
• Contribute at every step of the product life-cycle from general product discovery, research, ideation and AB tests 
• Give and receive feedback in regular design critiques with your peers
• Conduct and participate in design reviews with a range of stakeholders across the organization  
• Balance qualitative and quantitative data to make user-centered design decisions  
• Work closely with Product Managers to identify the problems and business goals that your designs will address  
• Partner with User Researchers to determine and execute the ideal research method to gather customer insights or evaluate designs
• Drive changes, refinements, and improvements to the user experience   

We’re excited if you have 

• 6+ years relevant experience in Interaction Design 
• Proficiency in delivering delightful and effective consumer-facing experiences and/or shipped products, demonstrating domain expertise in streaming either on or off platform 
• Ability to thrive in an ambiguous environment, and to embrace opportunities to rapidly iterate on designs  
• A passion for the end-to-end user experience  
• Hands-on experience working with User Researchers (or conducting User Research yourself) and utilizing the results of that research to shape your designs  
• Endless empathy for the user
