About The Position
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. The CI and CD Foundation team is the backbone of our engineering velocity, focused on engineering and delivering a unified, platform-centric CI/CD ecosystem. Our mission is to streamline the integration and delivery of core client code, including the Game Engine, Studio, and User Apps. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will move beyond simple script maintenance to building the next generation of our build platform. You will lead the charge in transforming legacy infrastructure into a self-healing, automated, and observable ecosystem. This is a high-impact role where you will leverage cutting-edge technology—including AI agents and MCP tools—to modernize how we build software at scale.
Requirements
- Experience building tools to boost developer productivity and proficiency in at least one modern language, such as Python, Go, C++, or Java.
- Experience designing and maintaining large-scale modern CI/CD systems (e.g., TeamCity, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab).
- Working knowledge of cloud-based build infrastructure automation and container orchestration (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes (K8S), or Nomad).
- Experience implementing monitoring and alerting solutions to proactively manage build health.
- A customer-centric mindset and resourceful problem solver.
Nice To Haves
- Exposure to large scale cloud/on-prem build and release systems, and/or experience building distributed build and test systems that excel in providing rapid and reliable feedback to developers.
Responsibilities
- Transform Infrastructure: Lead the migration of our CI/CD infrastructure into a fully managed, low-maintenance system. You will champion Configuration as Code (CaC), advanced Observability (O11y), and self-service automation to remove manual bottlenecks.
- Empower Engineering: Collaborate deeply with Client Engineering teams to understand their unique tech stacks (Game Engine, Studio, Apps) and engineer solutions that scale.
- Operational Excellence: Identify, diagnose, and resolve complex issues across the build, test, and release systems. Your work will directly unblock hundreds of developers and ensure the stability of the release pipeline.
- System Reliability: Drive improvements in build reliability and efficiency, ensuring our infrastructure can handle massive scale with minimal downtime.
- Innovate with AI: Leverage AI models, MCP tools, and internal AI agents to turn repetitive maintenance tasks into intelligent, user-friendly self-services.
