Roblox is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the new Data Intake team, which owns the tooling that sources and processes training data for Roblox's future foundation models. This is a founding team role with the opportunity to define both technical direction and long-term product strategy from the ground up.
You will architect and deliver a high-performance analytics environment serving thousands of daily queries, design and scale robust data infrastructure for data retrieval and visualization, and ensure data systems are reliable, observable, privacy-compliant, and performant. You'll bridge gaps between data engineering, analytics, and infrastructure to deliver best-in-class data tools, build intelligent agentic automation to simplify analytical workflows, and contribute to internal platforms that improve developer productivity. As a tech lead, you'll mentor junior engineers and take full ownership of projects throughout their lifecycle.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy building and iterating quickly on new internal products, are proficient in designing and scaling robust API integrations and data infrastructure, and are committed to developing inspiring, maintainable, and reusable code. You'll collaborate closely with teammates across data labeling and machine learning to ensure datasets meet customer needs.
Roblox's mission is to connect a billion people with optimism and civility through 3D immersive digital experiences. The company provides a platform where tens of millions daily explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in experiences built by a global developer community.
Office presence is required Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with optional presence on Monday and Friday.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years of work experience building production-grade, scalable, and reliable data systems; B.S. equivalent in CS or sufficient equivalent experience

- Infrastructure networking knowledge (Kubernetes ingress, load balancers, VPC networking)
