Job Description

Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators.

At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there.

A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone.

Why Safety?

At Roblox, we strive to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and the Safety organization’s mission is to become the leader in civil immersive online communities. We systematically detect, remove, and prevent problematic content and behavior, and we make Roblox accounts secure and free from compromise. We cover a broad area of the tech spectrum, including machine learning, classifiers for 3D models, experimentation, automation, detection workflows, and AI-powered text filters. Aligned and partnering with product teams, we use this tool belt to discover new opportunities, influence and shape the product roadmap and prioritization, build safety products, and measure the impact on our community of users and developers. In doing so, we keep Roblox safe, civil, and inclusive, and we foster positive relationships between people around the world.

Why Safety Foundation?

Safety Foundation is the infrastructure backbone that powers safety across Roblox. Every piece of content reviewed, every moderation action taken, every safety workflow running anywhere on the platform flows through systems built by this team. We are the platform that other safety teams build on — and right now, we're in the middle of one of the most significant evolutions in our history.

We're scaling to handle 10x more traffic while keeping cost growth in check. We're rebuilding the platform to be AI-first, natively supporting agentic and ML-driven safety workflows without compromising on security or auditability. And we're radically improving developer velocity — cutting the time it takes any team to integrate safety capabilities from months to hours.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Safety Foundation team, you will architect, implement, and grow the systems that enable the moderation of all content and interactions on Roblox. Your work will be fundamental in keeping the experiences of over 100 million daily active users at Roblox safe, civil, and delightful. In this role, you will report to the Engineering Manager of the Safety Foundation team.

You Will

  • Contribute to the architecture & development of the Safety Platform - the backbone that powers safety across Roblox.
  • Help design & build the developer experience layer that enables product teams across Roblox to integrate safety capabilities in hours, not 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 Have

  • 5 years of experience building & 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 tech such as Cassandra, DynamoDB is a plus
  • BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field — or equivalent experience

You Are

  • Versatile: You're a generalist and you are comfortable with several languages and technologies already; you are adaptable in any situation. You are resourceful, and take a creative and strategic approach to solving hard problems.
  • Analytical: Excited to investigate large, ambiguous problems, and quantify the problems and the solutions.
  • User Oriented: You always start with the needs of the user, whether they are Roblox users or internal engineers before architecting a solution.
  • Team Oriented: You lift up your peers and find ways to make the team stronger.
