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.
As a Senior Software Engineer focusing on Client Application Architecture, you will help create technology for writing cross-platform application code within the Roblox ecosystem. Your work will form a solid foundation that both Roblox' internal engineers and third-party developers can leverage to create robust, performant, and delightful user experiences that are also easy to maintain and update. When writing code, you will focus on long-term objectives instead of shipping features fast. Join the growing Universal App team if you enjoy solving complex client-server interactions, are fascinated by cross-platform intricacies, and love to create efficient, extensible, and reusable code that many developers will depend on for a long time to come.
You Are:
- Experienced: 5+ years' experience building apps on desktop or mobile with complex flows, using technologies similar to React/Redux, React Native, or native platform UI toolkits, and hold a BS in Computer Science or above.
- Adaptable: You can shift focus and enjoy working outside your comfort zone.
- Curious: You are excited to work on a new UI platform inspired by React and powered by the Roblox game engine. Learning new languages and technologies is exciting to you.
- Analytical: You love to understand what developers need from their frameworks, and how you can maximize impact for them, and for our users.
- Test-driven: You like to pay attention to good test coverage and quality at the same time you are writing code.
- Team-player: You work with and inspire others around you, taking on tasks for the greater team (Community > Company > Individual).
You Will:
- Build frameworks and cross-platform systems that power awesome features used by hundreds of millions of users.
- Lead communication between other engineering teams, product, design, and QA to identify and solve the right problems.
- Use best programming practices, optimizing code to be performant, reliable, and easy to maintain.
- Write and maintain unit and integration tests for the code you write.
- Take ownership of projects throughout their full lifecycle.
- Take the long view, writing code that levers up to what is appropriate several years down the road.
