You will work across the stack to deliver high-performance experiences, from client-side user flows to the backend systems that serve billions of contents each day.

You will partner closely with product and other engineering teams to define architecture, improve reliability, and drive measurable impact on engagement and content growth. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive on building scalable, developer facing and user-facing products that blend technical depth with creative impact.

You Will:

• Design and build engaging, high-performance content creation/sharing and consumption experiences across Roblox Platform.


• Own projects end to end, from design and architecture to launch and iteration, driving measurable impact on user engagement and content quality.


• Collaborate with engineers across product, safety, and infrastructure teams to define best practices and align on scalable solutions.


• Identify gaps in performance, testing, and experimentation workflows, and lead improvements that make the team more effective and efficient.


• Uphold high standards of technical quality and user experience while rapidly iterating on new features.


• Contribute to a strong, inclusive team culture by helping refine processes, mentoring peers, and supporting each other’s success.


• Help recruit and grow future talent who share our passion for building the next generation of content ecosystem on Roblox.

• 5+ years of experience building scalable backend systems in C++, C#, Java, or similar languages.


• Strong experience working on consumer-facing products at scale.


• Experience partnering closely with product managers and data teams to ship measurable impact.


• Experience building scalable APIs, distributed services, and asynchronous workflows.


• Strong product intuition — you think in terms of user experience, tradeoffs, and measurable outcomes, as well as system design.


• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
