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.
The Creator Store is the asset and tool marketplace for creators on Roblox. Store creators can distribute and sell interactive, scripted 3D models, Roblox Studio plugins, and other assets. Game creators use these to build better and faster.
From our insights into creation on Roblox, we are building out platform-wide systems to identify and predict bad content, helping to improve content moderation and consequence accuracy for creators.
As Principal Engineer for the Creator Store & Reputation team, you will help connect new and thriving game, asset, and tool creators to ultimately lead to better experiences on the platform. You’ll be deeply involved and pivotal to building a quality, safe UGC (user-generated content) ecosystem.
You will be the technical lead for Store & Reputation engineering, including end-to-end architecture, implementation, and delivery of a platform that spans the web, cloud, and Roblox Studio/Engine. We are looking for a principal level engineer or higher. Leveling to principal or above will be based on experience and interview performance.
You Will:
- Architect the future of our systems - payments and earnings for asset and tool sales, platform-wide safety, IP protection systems, etc.
- Care deeply about building a quality product that achieves company goals
- Prefer to ship incrementally, talk to creators, and make positive contributions you can be proud of every week, month and quarter.
- Build highly automated systems that let our team scale to an ever-growing ecosystem size and variety
- Mentor and grow a team of 6 engineers, leading by example. There is opportunity for this role to pivot to the engineering management career track.
- Have the opportunity to contribute to the broader ‘Creator Success’ company mission
You Have:
- Experience: 8+ years of experience in building complex, cross-team systems that impact millions of users' lives. 2+ years of experience in a ‘tech lead’ role within a cross-functional team as an independent contributor.
- Product focus: You have experience working with cross-functional teams to build consumer-facing products. You know and shape the goals for any feature you build, and take responsibility for hitting the right notes for our users. Hence, you ultimately generate value for yourself and Roblox as a Builder.
- Get stuff done: Unafraid to jump into unfamiliar codebases and areas to get stuff done and achieve product goals. You are a generalist who wants to ship a great product, whether it involves working in C#, TypeScript, Luau or C++
- Empathy: Your team and peers look forward to working with you. Juniors look up to you as an inspiration. You articulate your technical decisions without ego, aiming to build the best thing and sometimes learn yourself.
- Drive: When you commit to a project, you are constantly seeking opportunities to make it successful. Other people on the project rally around your focus. You become the domain expert and are perpetually seeking ways to hone your craft.
