About Adopt Me

About our games studio

Being a Gameplay Programmer here is incredibly rewarding. Every day I get to be creative and solve interesting code problems all while learning new skills and growing as a programmer and a person. The updates I work on get played by millions of players, seeing them enjoy my work is so satisfying. My colleagues are awesome and I really feel like I can be myself here, I'm not just working alone.

• Take ownership of projects and be willing to lead

Responsibilities

• Work as part of a multidisciplinary team to implement gameplay content by writing code in Roblox Lua. Use existing frameworks and libraries to build creative content, seasonal events and live events.
• Communicate well with your coworkers (other programmers, artists, producers etc) to ship great updates.
• Learn how to write code that meets our expected level of quality, and matches the style of our codebase through processes like peer review, pair programming, reading the codebase, asking questions etc. Work with other programmers on the team to become a better programmer.

• You like to create excellent-feeling Roblox experiences through code and design. You have made projects (games, frameworks etc) that showcase a thoughtful approach to design including UI/UX. You want to ship satisfying, juicy, tweaked-to-perfection updates for our games.
• You have the ‘right attitude’ - you are ready and willing to get stuck in, to read our codebase, to ‘pair program’ and do your best to learn and grow as a person, a coworker, and a programmer.

• A top quality experience on Roblox that you have designed and programmed.
• Experience working in self-managed roles and remote teams.
• Secondary game development skills that may help you support your engineering work - UI/UX, game design, graphic design, audio design, modeling + texturing, etc.
