Senior Software Engineer, Build

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Build Surfaces team, you will lead projects that shape how everyone builds on Roblox, across both Studio and the Roblox App. Our team owns the AI-powered workflows that meet Players and Creators directly in their environment of choice.

We are building tools that span the full creation lifecycle, helping creators build, grow, and monetize. We primarily work with React, Luau, and occasionally C++, but adaptability to evolving technology is key. TypeScript and Web expertise are a helpful proxy for this stack.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to development across Build and Studio Assistant surfaces.
• Ship end-to-end features spanning AI-assisted iteration, direct editing, monetization, analytics, and onboarding.
• Mentor engineers on the team through formal mentoring and leadership by example.
• Own projects from technical specification, execution and launch.
• Collaborate with product, design and cross-team collaborators to uphold execution quality and velocity.

Qualifications

Required

• 4+ years of hands-on working experience with a BS degree (or equivalent professional experience) in Computer Science, or a similar technical field.
• Experience in programming languages such as C++, Luau, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
• Experience with managing/navigating complex codebases and system architecture/design.
• Driven cross-functional projects to build consumer facing products.
• Passionate about building great user facing products through continuous improvements and rapid iterations with feedback.
• Curious about new technology and product experiences.

Bonus

• Experience building agentic tools.
• Familiarity with A/B testing.
