Principal Software Engineer, Ads User Experience
Principal software engineer building Roblox's first-of-its-kind ads system inside its C++ game engine — developing new ad formats starting with video, and designing high-performance, scalable systems that shape a new multi-billion-dollar ads business while preserving user experience and platform integrity.
RF Software Engineer 3 - (Linux, Python, C++)
Senior RF software engineer at a cleared government contractor in Annapolis Junction, MD: develops, debugs, and maintains complex DSP/RF-focused software systems in C++, Python, and Linux, including algorithm design and system integration. Requires TS/SCI clearance with polygraph and ~12 years of relevant experience; pays $256k-$313k annually.



Software Engineering Manager - Network Transport
Engineering manager role at Roblox leading the Engine Networking team — owning architecture, execution, and career growth of engineers building real-time state synchronization and asset streaming/delivery systems. Core tech: C++, Linux networking, congestion control/QoS, CDNs, caching, and multithreaded client/server systems at global scale.



Software Engineering Manager - Engine Networking
Leads Roblox's Engine Networking team, which delivers real-time game state and content for seamless multiplayer experiences to millions of daily players. The manager owns roadmaps end to end, stays hands-on with C++ coding and architecture review, and hires and coaches engineers building low-latency networking at massive scale.



Principal Software Engineer - Avatar Personalization
Principal engineer on Roblox's Avatar Personalization team, building avatar creation and customization features (animation, clothing, hair, shading) directly in the Roblox game engine using C++ and Lua, with technical leadership and cross-team architectural work at scale for tens of millions of users. Onsite in San Mateo Tue-Thu.



Senior Software Engineer, Creator Services Translation
Senior engineer on Roblox's Creator Services Translation team, designing and building highly scalable distributed backend systems for the localization pipeline (text, image, audio detection, translation, serving, rendering). Full-stack work spans client, game engine, backend services, and ML models, using C#, C++, Go, or Python with microservices.



Principal Software Engineer, Build
Principal engineer on Roblox's Build Surfaces team, leading end-to-end development of AI-assisted creator tools across Roblox Studio and the app — text-to-game generation, iteration, monetization, and analytics — while mentoring engineers. Primarily works in React, Luau, and occasionally C++.



Senior Software Engineer, Creator Collaboration
Designs and builds large-scale services for creator collaboration at Roblox, including the real-time Team Create product and the Creation Platform APIs that AI agents access via MCP. Full-stack work in C#, C++, Java, or Python, with emphasis on scale, architecture, and mentoring other engineers.



Principal Software Engineer - Object Store
Principal engineer setting the technical direction for Roblox's in-house, bare-metal, S3-compatible object storage platform that serves assets, media, analytics and ML datasets at exabyte scale, migrating workloads off cloud object storage. Day to day: distributed storage architecture and data-path tuning in C++, Go, or Rust, control-plane and fleet operations, plus mentoring.



Principal Software Engineer, App Performance
Principal engineer on Roblox's Consumer App Performance team, driving stability and performance across the cross-platform C++ game engine and client codebase on mobile, desktop, and console — profiling bottlenecks, mitigating crashes and hangs, and building monitoring and CI/CD guardrails to prevent regressions.



Software Engineer, Engine Scalability
Software Engineer on Roblox's Engine Scalability team, building C++ 3D engine systems for avatars and environments — mesh processing, LOD, streaming, and performance work so high-fidelity multiplayer worlds run smoothly on phones and low-end devices. Hybrid onsite in San Mateo, CA (Tue–Thu).



Principal Software Engineer, Engine Systems
Principal engineer on Roblox's Engine DataModel team, owning the core data structures, C++ reflection bindings behind the Luau API, and serialization that form the backbone of the Roblox engine. Day to day is high-performance systems-level C++ work that must run well across desktop, mobile, and console clients, based hybrid (3 days/week) in San Mateo, CA.



Senior Software Engineer, Engine Harmony
Senior engineer on Roblox's Game Engine Systems team writing C++ engine code that harmonizes CPU, memory, and bandwidth resource usage so gameplay runs well across devices — from mobile clients to cloud servers — with optimization work to improve player engagement.



Senior Software Engineer, Runtime
Owns the concurrency core of the Roblox game engine — the task scheduler, fiber runtime, and async APIs. Day to day: building and optimizing C++ engine primitives, debugging production failures across PC, Mac, mobile, and console, and advising other engine teams. Core tech: modern C++, multithreading, and low-level performance work.



[2027] Senior Machine Learning Engineer - PhD Early Career
Roblox is hiring a PhD-level senior machine learning engineer to take research projects end-to-end — from ideation through production deployment of deep learning, generative AI, multimodal, CV, NLP, and recommendation models that power the platform for hundreds of millions of daily users.



Principal Software Engineer - Streaming
Principal engineer on Roblox's Engine Networking team, building the real-time network transport layer that synchronizes game state across millions of players on desktop, mobile, and console clients. Core work is systems-level C++ on a user-space network stack, optimizing latency, throughput, congestion control, and OS-level performance on Linux.



Senior Software Engineer - Network Transport
Senior engineer on Roblox's Engine Networking team, building and optimizing the user-space network transport stack that keeps game state nearly synchronous in real time across desktop, mobile, and console clients. Core work is systems-level C++ with Linux networking, QoS, and congestion control.



Principal Software Engineer - Service Networking
Principal engineer on Roblox's Service Mesh team: sets technical direction and does hands-on development of Envoy/Istio-based service-to-service networking across Kubernetes, Nomad, and cloud environments, partnering with Security and Compute teams while mentoring senior engineers.



Senior Software Engineer, Video Rendering
Senior engineer on Roblox's Video Team building video capture, encoding, playback, and rendering for the Android platform using C++ and NDK APIs like Vulkan and AMediaCodec, with opportunities to contribute across desktop, console, web, and backend microservices.



Software Engineer, Creator Services Communication
Builds the communications plane for the Roblox platform — cross-server messaging, developer HTTP/teleport APIs, and compute functions — solving distributed-systems and networking problems at many-million-player scale. Full-stack work spans the C++ engine, C# services, Kafka/Flink, Redis/Elasticsearch/Clickhouse, and React UIs. Onsite Tue–Thu in San Mateo.
