HybridInformation TechnologyFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the team, About the role, How will I use AI at Roku?, What you'll be doing, We're excited if you have, What's Roku's approach to hybrid working?, What are some of the benefits?, Accommodations, What should I know about Roku's culture? Possibly also "About the team" etc. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep all substantive info. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not create sections for Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated (some description). So we can include Benefits section. Schedule: hybrid working described, we can include a section maybe "Hybrid Working" but the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They gave examples but we can use other headings? The instruction: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings, but not required to limit to those; we can use other headings as needed, but likely they expect those. However we have sections like About the team, About the role, How will I use AI at Roku?, What you'll be doing, We're excited if you have, What's Roku's approach to hybrid working?, What are some of the benefits?, Accommodations, What should I know about Roku's culture?. Those are not exactly the list but could be okay. The instruction says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we could map content to those standard headings where possible. Let's map: - About the team -> could be "About the team" (not in list but okay). Could also be "About the role"? No, that's separate. We'll keep About the team. - About the role -> heading About the role. - How will I use AI at Roku? -> maybe "AI Usage" but not in list. Could be "Skills"? Not exactly. Might be better to keep as a heading. - What you'll be doing -> Responsibilities. - We're excited if you have -> Requirements or Qualifications. - What's Roku's approach to hybrid working? -> Schedule. - What are some of the benefits? -> Benefits. - Accommodations -> maybe keep as a section. - What should I know about Roku's culture? -> maybe "Culture" but not in list; could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it. Could use a heading like "Culture". Not in list but acceptable. We must not create Pay section because not mentioned. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: lines like "By providing your information, you acknowledge..." etc. Also "Accommodations" section includes text about reasonable accommodations; we keep that as substantive? It's about accommodations; it's not boilerplate? It's a statement about accommodations; we can keep. We also need to remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication: early paragraph repeats mission etc. We'll need to deduplicate. Let's extract substantive content. Original text: "Teamwork makes the stream work.

What should I know about Roku's culture?Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV. We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.

If you do not wish to receive any communications from Roku regarding this role or similar roles in the future, you may unsubscribe at any time by emailing WorkforcePrivacy@Roku.com." We need to remove boilerplate: the last paragraph about providing information, privacy notice, unsubscribe. Also maybe the line "To learn more about Roku, our global footprint, and how we've grown, visit https://www.weareroku.com/factsheet." That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered a link; but it's substantive? It's a reference; we could keep it? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to factsheet is not boilerplate; it's extra info. Might keep. Also need to remove duplicated lines: early part repeats mission etc. We'll need to ensure we don't repeat same sentences. Let's craft sections:
