Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators.

At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there.

A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone.

The ideal candidate will be a versatile, self-driven, team-player who enjoys context-switching across high-profile initiatives, and has an exceptional safety operations track record. Through your work, you’ll become an expert in Roblox’s safety practices, advance our tooling and investigative capabilities, and work across a variety of teams to surface, analyze, and ultimately disrupt threat actors.
