Job Details

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 Software Engineer on the Infra Foundation team you will drive the continual improvement of Roblox’s infrastructure systems. We play a critical role in ensuring Roblox has enough capacity to support rapid player growth, while running our infra efficiently and scalably. In this role you will be responsible for designing, building and improving software systems that automate the end-to-end server lifecycle, as well as data center management & operations.  

You Have:

  • BA/BS Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience with programming languages, like Python or Go.
  • Great communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

  • Some experience with the AWS ecosystem.
  • Some domain knowledge in datacenter and networking is a plus, but not required. 
  • Full-stack experience (i.e., frontend or data engineering) is a plus but not required.

You Will:

  • Design, develop, and maintain software systems & tooling to automate server lifecycle management from rack delivery, provisioning, firmware update, diagnosis & repair, to decommissioning. Some systems need a major redesign, some others don’t exist yet (i.e., they are greenfield projects).
  • Design systems & tooling to automate datacenter management & operations. This includes spare parts inventory, datacenter monitoring & analytics, DC operator task/work schedule optimization, and more. 
  • Work cross-functionally with partner teams such as Compute, Network, Asset Management, Capacity Engineering, Data Center Ops, HW Engineering, and Finance.
