Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Roblox as an employer.
What you need
- Strong experience building distributed systems or backend services such as schedulers, control planes, orchestration, or similar large-scale infrastructure.
- Proficiency in Go and/or Python.
- A solid grasp of distributed systems fundamentals: fairness, efficiency, failure handling, and reliability.
- Experience building systems that stay healthy on their own: health monitoring, fault detection, and automated recovery.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with running workloads on physical test hardware (phones, computers, consoles).
- Experience with end-to-end or integration testing of real applications, not just unit tests or standard CI pipelines.
- A passion for correctness and doing things 'the right way.'
What you get
- Equity compensation
- Benefits as described in the posting.
Worth weighing
- No specific mention of remote work flexibility beyond the onsite requirements.
- Salary range provided but subject to change and dependent on various factors, which may lead to variability in actual compensation.
