Roblox is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Game Engine Data Model team. The Data Model is the core object hierarchy that powers all Roblox experiences, acting as a scene graph or entity system that exposes an interface between engine capabilities and creators. It serves as a fabric connecting critical technologies including networking, scripting, Studio, rendering, and physics—all essential to the high performance of the Roblox game engine.
In this role, you will innovate on the core data structures that form the backbone of Roblox's platform and have a first-hand opportunity to design and build one of the core technologies that makes the Roblox game engine special.
Responsibilities:
- Develop engine code that performs well for user-created games on the Roblox platform
- Work cross-functionally with other teams to deliver high-quality functionality
- Improve product quality by writing automated tests for your code
- Take ownership of features and projects, from design through launch
- Build and test code that runs across supported devices, including desktop, mobile, and console
Roblox operates on a hybrid schedule: onsite Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with optional presence on Monday and Friday.
Requirements:
- 2+ years of software engineering experience with hands-on development in C++
- Proficiency in one or more programming languages (C++, C#, Go, Python, or similar)
- Familiarity with game engines, real-time systems, large-scale simulations, or entity component systems is a plus
- Strong willingness to learn, take on unfamiliar problems, and stay current with evolving technologies
- Ability to collaborate in cross-functional and cross-team projects to deliver curated technical solutions
- Long-term mindset and willingness to take a long view to drive collaboration and build systems
