In this role, support and build the systems that allow us to monitor and analyze Roblox from the hardware level all the way up to end user experience to improve Roblox for our millions of concurrent users.

This work requires navigating hardware and vendor-specific limitations across devices, while building reliable systems that help engineering teams safely ship weekly binary updates to Roblox at global scale.

You Will

  • Build and maintain components of the (predominantly C++) systems that report stability, reliability, and performance signals across Roblox clients, working from defined designs and contributing to technical decisions within your area.
  • Write well-instrumented, production-quality code across supported platforms, including mobile, desktop, and major consoles, with guidance on complex systems-level work.
  • Deliver the tools and signals engineers use to detect, understand, and resolve disruptions to the user experience, and help improve them based on feedback from those teams.

You Have

  • 1+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong ownership of complex technical systems.
  • Knowledge: Comfortable working with systems level programming languages (C++, C#, Objective C, Rust, or similar programming language).
  • Curiosity: Eager to work across a wide range of systems and understand the engine end to end.
  • Long-term Mindset: Considerate of how your work impacts the team/users over time, not just getting the green checkmark on a deliverable.
