Software Engineer, Engine Systems

Overview

Build and maintain the core diagnostic instrumentation for Roblox's engine, helping monitor and analyze the platform from hardware level up to end user experience.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain components of the predominantly C++ systems that report stability, reliability, and performance signals across Roblox clients.
• Contribute to platform-level systems that help Roblox understand hangs, crashes, performance regressions, and session health across supported clients.
• Write well-instrumented, production-quality code across supported platforms, including mobile, desktop, and major consoles, with guidance on complex systems-level work.
• Deliver the tools and signals engineers use to detect, understand, and resolve disruptions to the user experience, and improve them based on feedback from those teams.
• Work from defined designs and contribute to technical decisions within your area.

What you'll need

• 1+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong ownership of complex technical systems.
• Comfort working with systems level programming languages (C++, C#, Objective C, Rust, or similar programming language).
• Curiosity to work across a wide range of systems and understand the engine end to end.
• Long-term mindset: considerate of how your work impacts the team and users over time, not just getting the green checkmark on a deliverable.
