Salary: USD 196,750 - 243,290 / annual
Roblox is a platform where tens of millions of people explore, create, play, learn, and connect in 3D immersive digital experiences. The Safety Foundation team builds the infrastructure backbone that powers safety across the entire platform—every piece of content reviewed, every moderation action taken, and every safety workflow flows through systems built by this team.
You will architect, implement, and grow the systems that enable moderation of all content and interactions on Roblox, serving over 100 million daily active users. The Safety Foundation team is undergoing significant evolution: scaling to handle 10x more traffic while controlling costs, rebuilding the platform to be AI-first with native support for agentic and ML-driven safety workflows, and radically improving developer velocity by reducing integration time from months to hours.
In this role, you will report to the Engineering Manager of the Safety Foundation team and will:
- Contribute to the architecture and development of the Safety Platform, the backbone powering safety across Roblox
- Design and build the developer experience layer enabling product teams to integrate safety capabilities in hours instead of months
- Take ownership of projects from concept to deployment, ensuring high quality, reliability, and scalability
- Partner closely with Trust & Safety ML, User Safety, Safety Operations, and product teams to translate platform needs into durable infrastructure
You are a versatile generalist comfortable with multiple languages and technologies, resourceful in solving hard problems with creative and strategic approaches. You are analytical, excited to investigate large ambiguous problems and quantify both problems and solutions. You prioritize user needs—whether Roblox users or internal engineers—before architecting solutions, and you lift up your peers to strengthen the team.
Roblox is building tools and platforms that empower a global community of developers and creators. The Safety organization's mission is to become the leader in civil immersive online communities, systematically detecting, removing, and preventing problematic content and behavior while making accounts secure and free from compromise.
The role is based in San Mateo, CA with hybrid work: onsite Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with optional presence on Monday and Friday.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years of experience building and operating backend services and/or distributed systems
- Proficient in Go or a similar compiled language (Go strongly preferred)
- Experience with or strong interest in building developer platforms
- Experience with CQRS, Event Sourcing, NoSQL technologies such as Cassandra or DynamoDB is a plus
- BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
