About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Engine Systems team, you will help build the core diagnostic and reliability frameworks that power Roblox’s engine. In this role, you will design and build the systems that allow us to monitor, analyze, and improve the Roblox experience across millions of concurrent users. You will contribute to platform-level systems that help Roblox understand hangs, crashes, performance regressions, and session health across our supported clients. This work requires navigating platform-specific limitations across vendors such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, Sony, and others, while building reliable systems that help engineering teams safely ship changes to Roblox at global scale.

Requirements

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong ownership of complex technical systems.
Strong proficiency in native C++ or Objective C code
Familiarity with at least one non-desktop platform (e.g. mobile or console)
Comfort debugging difficult technical problems across first-party, operating system, and tooling boundaries.
A collaborative approach to engineering, with strong communication skills and a focus on team outcomes.

Nice To Haves

Experience building observability systems, crash reporting, hang detection, application performance monitoring, or related diagnostic tooling.
Experience working cross-functionally with Data Science, Infra, and similar stakeholders to guide technical decisions.
Multi-platform expertise involving several mobile or console ecosystems.
Interest in mentoring other engineers and raising the engineering quality of the broader team.
Experience with game engines, large client applications, or performance-critical runtime systems.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain systems that report detailed stability, reliability, and performance signals across Roblox clients.
Write well-instrumented systems-level code across supported devices, including mobile, desktop, and major console platforms.
Ensure internal engineers have the tools and signals they need to detect, understand, and resolve disruptions to the user experience.
Design highly reliable systems that must operate reliably at Roblox’s massive scale, where even small regressions can have significant impact.
