About our games studio

As a Systems Engineer, working here is incredibly fulfilling. We get to build systems never before seen on Roblox that scale to millions of users, with all the challenges that involves. I get to work with some of the smartest, most talented people on Roblox in an environment where I really feel like I have control and autonomy on my projects. I also have a ton of freedom - since joining I've visited 5 countries whilst working, and get to plan my work around my life, not the other way around.

We want you to

• Be curious, want to improve yourself and others
• Care deeply about our mission of creating best-in-class game content that kids will remember long into adulthood
• Take ownership of projects and be willing to lead
• Empathize deeply with others and believe our games can be vessels for social good

Responsibilities

• Build complex systems with beautifully simple APIs that gameplay programmers rely on to create compelling player experiences across DreamCraft titles
• Implement systems in-game on the Roblox platform and outside of Roblox on scalable cloud infrastructure
• Help design and implement tools and processes that our engineering team use to more effectively write code and ship features
• Use techniques like code review, direct feedback and pair programming to mentor others, ensuring the team and our tech is high quality and fit for purpose
• Present complex features in simple language to team members of varying technical levels, gather feedback and ensure everyone is aligned for when the project ships
• Ensure your code quality holds up under the stress of millions of players by writing tests, liaising with internal QA resources and monitoring your code after launch
• Where necessary, expand your knowledge by referencing engineering resources to help ensure our technical decisions make sense and are up to date with current methodology

"Should Have" Traits

• Past experience engineering large scalable systems or frameworks
• Deep understanding of the design and implementation of data structures (stacks, queues, graphs, hashmaps, etc) and algorithms (BFS, DFS, Quicksort, etc)
• Strong grasp of Roblox Lua API
• Intimate understanding of the internal workings and quirks of developer-facing features in the Roblox engine
• Familiarity or intuition for standard software design principles, such as Separation of Concerns and Single Responsibility Principle.

"Nice to Have" Traits

• Experience with containerization and service orchestration such as Docker / Kubernetes
• Experience building systems that can scale to thousands of requests per second
• Contributions to open source projects
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
