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.
About the role:
As a Principal Software Engineer on Experience Containerization, you will help build cross-platform technology that powers UI and business logic in the Metaverse, based on Roblox’s own game engine. Your work will form a proven foundation for both Roblox’s internal engineers and third-party creators to make robust, performant, and delightful user experiences spanning 2d and 3d environments. When coding, you will focus on long-term objectives instead of shipping features fast.
Join Experience Containerization if you enjoy working on sophisticated client-side systems, building critically important frameworks, and getting ahead of scale problems so that others don’t have to.
