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.

As the senior software engineer of the Game Engine data model team, you will innovate on the core data structures that form the backbone of Roblox’s platform.

The data model is the fabric that connects all of the Roblox engine’s systems (rendering, physics, and networking) together.  We are working on evolving that fabric to increase performance across all experiences as well as add new fundamental game play systems. This role will report to the engineering manager and work in our San Mateo, CA HQ 3 days a week (Tuesdays to Thursdays).

  • Responsibility: you build systems that work and keep on working optimally.
  • Curiosity: you want to learn, and stay up-to-date on technology developments

You Will:

  • Develop engine code that performs well for all user-created games on the Roblox platform
  • Build the central data structures of the engine, working with other teams to find universal solutions.
  • Take Ownership of projects throughout their full lifecycles
  • Execute on all the devices Roblox supports - from desktop clients to mobile phone clients to console clients
