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 Sr Software Engineer, you will be a key contributor to the evolution of Roblox Studio and our cloud services. Roblox Studio is a world-class cloud based IDE that facilitates instant synchronization between game developers, enables multi-party script editing, and manages a cloud-based repository.
You will be responsible for working within a full-stack team to deliver compelling features related to collaborative development for Roblox creators. One of the areas will be around our flagship Team Create product which enables creators to collaborate in real-time with friends and co-workers. We believe that collaboration and large teams are the future of building one’s imagination on Roblox and you will be designing and building features which unlock that vision. Join us in our mission to make collaboration development in the metaverse performant, social and most of all fun!
