At Roblox, computer vision and graphics power the way our global community discovers, creates, and interacts on our virtual platform. This role involves building cutting-edge models to interpret and analyze every form of content—experiences, text, images, videos, and 3D avatars. Your work will directly influence core systems that drive the next generation of creation, search, recommendations, and trust & safety initiatives across our massive ecosystem. We’re looking for PhD candidates passionate about the intersection of computer vision, graphics, and generative modeling. You’ll work on applied research and engineering projects with direct production impact — enabling new ways for creators and players to bring ideas to life. Teams Hiring for This Role Content Understanding: Develop large-scale computer vision and multimodal models that classify, organize, and recommend 3D and visual content to improve user discovery, personalization, and safety. Account identity : focuses on various aspects of user Identity from bot detection, alternate account detection graph, to age estimation based on behavioral and facial features.

  • Lead the research and development of deep learning models for visual content understanding and 3D content generation (image/video/3D scenes, avatars, and assets).
  • Design and implement foundation models for visual and 3D-based creation, search, and recommendations , ensuring a high level of fidelity, relevance, and ranking.
  • Break down complex product requirements into iterative deliverable stages, moving applied research into high-scale production systems.
  • Implement innovative visual and multi-modal models that power core Roblox functions (e.g., world creation, avatar systems, search, and recommendations).
  • Build high precision facial age estimation across demographics from ground up including various fraud detection techniques for a robust and safe user identity system.
  • Possessing or pursuing a PhD in computer science, engineering, or a related field, with a thesis aligned to Roblox’s research areas.
  • Expertise in one or more areas: computer vision, multimodal learning, 3D Graphics, or large-scale representation learning.
  • Experience developing and training deep learning models using modern frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX).
  • A strong research track record, evidenced by multiple publications and presentations in top-tier, peer-reviewed venues.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, C++, Go, Java) and experience building and optimizing large-scale systems.
