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.

Roblox Operating System (ROS) unifies People and Work data primitives into a central platform that powers how employees collaborate and operate across Roblox. On the Talent Acquisition and Compensation (TACo) team, we build the products and systems that help Roblox attract, hire, and reward world-class talent. We create the tools behind recruiting and hiring, compensation planning, and the data workflows that support these processes.

As a Senior Software Engineer on TACo, you’ll build and scale internal products used by recruiting partners, compensation stakeholders, and employees across Roblox. The role is full-stack, with opportunities to contribute across responsive user interfaces, robust backend services, integrations, and CLI/MCP surfaces. With AI transforming the way we work, you’ll have the autonomy to explore and integrate cutting-edge solutions that help Roblox operate at 10x efficiency.

We need someone who thrives with autonomy and ownership—a builder who can advocate for best development practices, seamlessly collaborate with external vendors, and work directly with Roblox Executives to drive meaningful impact.

You will

  • Work across engineering, product, finance, people, and talent teams to innovate how we run the company, defining and refining requirements for high-impact internal products.
  • Drive alignment across teams, communicate technical decisions and tradeoffs, and ensure everyone is working toward the same vision.
  • Lead projects end to end, from problem definition and design through implementation, launch, adoption, measurement, and continuous improvement.
  • Work across a wide range of technologies, from frontend and backend to infrastructure, learning quickly to solve complex challenges.
  • Integrate with internal systems and external vendors, building reliable and maintainable solutions that work across a broader enterprise ecosystem.
  • Uphold high engineering standards, building scalable, performant, and future-proof systems.
  • Explore and apply AI to improve efficiency, embracing new tools and approaches, with attention to evaluation, privacy, and security.

You have

  • 4+ years of experience designing, building, testing, and operating full-stack software, including frontend applications, APIs, and backend services.
  • 2+ years of experience leading large technical projects involving multiple teams or disciplines.
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

You are

  • Experienced in building and deploying high-quality, user-focused products.
  • Focused on writing clear, readable, testable, modular, and well-monitored code.
  • Proficient in software development and architecture, with a strong background in both backend and frontend technologies.
  • An expert in modern backend and frontend development frameworks and languages, with a focus on scalability and maintainability.
  • A strong collaborator with great communication skills and the ability to build alignment with technical and nontechnical partners, senior leaders, and external vendors.
  • Passionate to leverage technology to create intuitive tools that enhance user workflows and drive business insights.
  • Already using AI to improve your productivity and excited about exploring and building AI-powered products, though specific AI expertise is not required.
