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.

As an Analytics Data Engineer within the Finance team, you will be a key player in shaping our data ecosystem. You will design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that transform raw data into a reliable and trustworthy source of truth for the Finance organization and beyond.

You will be the primary liaison between the Finance and the Data Engineering teams. You will use your domain knowledge of finance to understand their data requirements, translate them into technical specifications, and then build the necessary data infrastructure. Your work will directly impact financial planning, forecasting, and strategic decision-making across the company.

You Are

• A Data Expert: You have a deep understanding of data warehousing, ETL/ELT principles, and data modeling best practices. You can design and implement robust and scalable data pipelines.
• A Problem-Solver: You are passionate about using data to solve complex business problems. You can break down ambiguous requirements into clear, actionable data engineering tasks.
• Collaborative: You enjoy working with diverse teams and can effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Detail-Oriented: You have a high bar for data quality and integrity. You take pride in building accurate and reliable data products and you are comfortable owning full quality from end to end.
• Curious and AI-forward: You are excited by the potential of LLMs, prompt engineering, and the rapidly changing world of AI tooling. You go beyond just using tools like Claude/Claude Code or Cursor—you've experimented with them and are keen to build and integrate entire systems around them.
