Job description

Rokt is the global leader in ecommerce, unlocking real-time relevance in the moment that matters most. Rokt’s AI Brain and ecommerce Network powers billions of transactions connecting hundreds of millions of customers and is trusted to do this by the world’s leading companies.

We are a team of builders helping smart businesses find innovative ways to meet customer needs and generate incremental revenue. Leading companies drive 10-50% of additional revenue—and often all their profits—from the extra products or services they sell. This economic edge unleashes a world of possibilities for growth and innovation.

The Rokt engineering team builds best-in-class ecommerce technology that provides personalized and relevant experiences for customers globally and empowers marketers with sophisticated, AI-driven tooling to understand consumers better. Our bespoke platform handles millions of transactions per day. It considers billions of data points which give engineers the opportunity to build technology at scale, collaborate across teams and gain exposure to a wide range of technology.

Target total compensation ranges from $170,000 - $580,000, including a fixed annual salary of $150,000 - $345,000, an employee equity plan grant, and world-class benefits.

Equity grants are issued in good faith and are subject to company policies, board approval, and individual eligibility.

As an Individual Contributor Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll design, build, and operate the systems that power Rokt’s global platform. We’re hiring across multiple levels (Entry, Associate, Senior, Staff, and Principal) and disciplines—Build & Release, Compute, and Storage.

  • Manage networking and runtime layers, including VPCs, service mesh (Istio), ingress, and DNS
  • Develop automation and controllers that enhance scalability, cost-efficiency, and reliability
  • Work closely with product and platform teams to optimize resource utilization and performance

  • Implement scalable ingestion, replication, and schema management solutions
  • Ensure durability, availability, and performance across real-time and batch systems
  • Build observability and automation for high-throughput, multi-region data platforms

We pride ourselves on being a force for good as we make the world better.

    About the Benefits :

  • Become a shareholder. Every Rokt’star gets equity in the company
  • Enjoy catered lunch every day and healthy snacks in the office.
  • Access generous retirement plans like a 4% dollar-for-dollar 401K matching plan and great health benefits for you and your dependents.
  • Dog-friendly office
  • Extra leave (bonus annual leave, sabbatical leave etc.)
  • Work with the greatest talent in town
  • See the world! We have offices in New York, Seattle, Sydney, Tokyo and London
  • We believe we’re better together. We love spending time together and are in the office most days (teams are in the office 4 days per week).
