Senior Frontend Engineer, Account Authentication

Why Account Authentication and Security?

The Roblox Account Authentication and Security team provides the front door for the metaverse. Across mobile, web, console, and all locales, we are responsible for onboarding Roblox players, creators and securing their sessions. When we do our job well, Roblox users will have a seamless and secure experience on Roblox.

What makes Roblox unique is that our users tend to skew young and are therefore both impatient and vulnerable. This role is for someone who wants to be a technical leader in making account authentication and security child proof. This is an excellent opportunity for a product engineer with expertise working on complex thick clients solving user authentication or account security problems to have a large scale impact. The team is product oriented and entrepreneurial with ~80% of our roadmap being sourced from within the team.
