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.

- Analyze systems and system designs for production readiness

You Are:
- A Partner: You know that the best tools integrate broadly with the tooling ecosystem. You approach partners and processes with curiosity and seek to understand a problem deeply before you start coding.
- A Coder: you have experience writing common programming languages (e.g., Go, Java, C#, Rust).
- Passionate about problem-solving, finding creative work solutions, and addressing unexpected challenges as part of a team.
- Problem Solver: you ask the right questions to tackle issues within your expertise and you use data to test your theories.
