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.

What You’ll Do:

As a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) on the Infra Compute Orchestration (ICO) team, you will create, support, and evolve the infrastructure at Roblox as we build out Roblox's private cloud.

You Will:

• Create systems & libraries that promote fault-tolerance and resilience– like retries, circuit breakers, and adaptive concurrency limits.
• Build, automate and standardize process automation to create a golden path of tooling and platform support that powers the fundamental Roblox ecosystem.
• Create tooling that provides production guardrails, for example evaluating release candidate capacity with load testing tooling before deploying to production.
• Create performance monitoring services and observability towards understanding capacity issues and platform degradations.
• Create tooling that monitors production services and their changes, like generalized canarying services with alerting.
• Analyze systems and system designs for production readiness.

You Have:

• Experience : You have a BS degree (or equivalent professional experience) in Computer Science or related engineering field with proven track record including at least 6 years as an SRE or Software Engineer.
• Passion for systems : You have experience and good habits around building software and tools and getting them adopted. Your system's focus advises a view of code needing to be deeply reliable.

You Are:

• A Partner : You know that the best tools integrate broadly with the tooling ecosystem. You approach partners and processes with curiosity and seek to understand a problem deeply before you start coding.
• A Coder : You have experience writing common programming languages (e.g., Go, Java, C#, Rust).
• Passionate about problem-solving, finding creative work solutions, and addressing unexpected challenges as part of a team.
• Problem Solver : You ask the right questions to tackle issues within your expertise and you use data to test your theories.
