Be part of an amazing team that’s building the world’s largest social platform for play. Every month, over 48 million players come to Roblox to become an overnight retail tycoon, compete as a professional racecar driver, solve a murder mystery, or simply build a dream home and hang out with friends. We’re looking for engineering rock stars who are inspired to power the imaginations of people around the world, one player at a time.

Our ambition is to build a global infrastructure to rival that of any big social network out there. We currently operate more than 15,000 servers in 40 data centers globally. Over the next few years, we expect that number will grow to over 50,000 servers.
