Roblox is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to own and manage the operation of its underlying cell infrastructure system, including service discovery, secrets management, and related software layers. You will help build Roblox's private cloud, productionize its growing Kubernetes-based infrastructure, and institute reliability best practices across the Compute team.
Key responsibilities include:
• Design and develop systems and libraries that promote fault-tolerance and resilience, automate cluster management and lifecycle, and ensure systems are observable.
• Promote and institute reliability best practices across the Infrastructure Compute group, drive common reliability initiatives, and provide collaborative technical reviews and operational guidance to strengthen system reliability.
• Build, automate, and standardize process automation to create a "golden path" of tooling and platform support that powers the Roblox ecosystem.
• Create tooling that provides production guardrails by evaluating release candidate capacity with load testing before production deployment.
• Create performance monitoring services and observability solutions to understand capacity issues and platform degradations, including generalized canarying services with alerting.
• Analyze systems and system designs for production readiness.
You will work as a partner within the broader tooling ecosystem, approaching partners and processes with curiosity and seeking to understand problems deeply before coding. You are passionate about building durable and reliable complex systems, solving problems creatively, and working as part of a team. You have experience with large project lifecycles, working in sprints, breaking down complex tasks, and maintaining accurate project scheduling.
Roblox operates on a hybrid model: onsite Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with optional presence on Monday and Friday.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related engineering field (or equivalent professional experience) with at least 6 years as an SRE or Software Engineer.
• 3+ years of professional experience with high-level programming languages including Go, Java, or C#.
• Experience with Kubernetes or similar orchestration systems. Experience with Nomad, Vault, and Consul is strongly desired.
• Experience building software and tools with a track record of adoption. Demonstrated commitment to writing deeply reliable code.
