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

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on full-stack or backend development, systems architecture, and API design
  • Demonstrated experience building scalable internal services, not just frontend interfaces
  • Familiarity with LLM orchestration, agentic workflows, and AI protocols (e.g., MCP)
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, feature-flag management, version control (GitHub Enterprise), and automated deployment pipelines
  • Strong understanding of Figma plugin architecture and how to programmatically parse and manipulate design data at scale

Nice to have

  • Experience with Roblox development, Lua/React-Lua, or game-engine UI architecture
  • Experience with ASTs (Abstract Syntax Trees), compiler logic, or automated code generation

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 dependent on various factors, which may lead to variability
  • Role requires a blend of technical and design skills, which may not suit all candidates
