Lead Software Engineer, Payment Platform at Roku · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As Lead Engineer, you'll lead the evaluation and implementation of new technologies and designs, continually assessing emerging tools and seeking innovative solutions to both existing and new challenges. You'll engage in architectural discussions across multiple teams, influence the roadmap, and own key projects and initiatives, providing the technical leadership and expertise needed to drive highly available, scalable platform capabilities.
This role sets the standard for engineering excellence—establishing clear expectations and leading by hands-on example. You'll be an evangelist for best practices across every function, including development, QA, and infrastructure/ops, as well as a champion for platform innovation and reuse. While you'll stay actively involved in code and design reviews, this remains a deeply technical position: you're expected to be heavily hands-on with agentic coding.
Use agentic AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) as part of your daily workflow, delegating tasks to AI, reviewing and refining AI-generated code, and integrating it into production
Build and ship features using AI coding agents—delegating implementation, reviewing output, and owning the quality of what makes it to production
Own the building of platform features, driving work directly with product and other engineering teams
Own the design and implementation of shared architectural layers (e.g., queuing, event systems, shared memory clusters) and libraries that can be leveraged across teams.
Evaluate emerging technologies and lead the adoption of new designs that address platform challenges
Participate in architectural discussions across teams, influence the technical roadmap, and take ownership of key initiatives
Review technical specification documents produced by the development team and mentor team members to raise the bar on quality
Stay hands-on with code and design reviews while spending the majority of your time (~70%) writing code
Champion best practices and a culture of innovation and reuse across development, QA, and infrastructure/ops
