Every day, tens of millions of people from around the world come to Roblox to play, learn, work, and socialize in immersive digital experiences created by the community.
Our vision is to build a platform that enables shared experiences among billions of users. This is what’s known as the metaverse: a persistent space where anyone can do just about anything they can imagine, from anywhere in the world and on any device. The breadth of opportunities, and the evolving demands of this first-of-its-kind platform, ensure that your avenues for growth are always expanding and flexible.
Join us and you’ll usher in a new category of human interaction while solving exceptional challenges that you won’t find anywhere else.
As a Design Systems Lead at Roblox, you will shape our product design system, uiBlox. You will establish the foundations of our product experiences and have oversight of all components and documentation that power our global design team, both for players and creators.
You'll be an important contributor in establishing our design patterns and visual language by creating UX frameworks. You'll guide the vision for the system, foundations, and tools that empower our product designers and engineers to build high-quality, well-designed experiences.
