Senior Research Engineer in San Mateo

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 User Life Cycle team owns how people discover Roblox, become active, and stay engaged over time. Growth and Marketing are central to that journey, and the quality of our data determines how well we can invest: which channels bring in people who stay, which campaigns actually move the needle, and where people drop out of the funnel. As a Senior Data Engineer embedded in Growth Org, you will build the data foundation behind our marketing measurement and growth flywheel. That includes the pipelines and models that power Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM), multi-touch and incrementality-based attribution, and end-to-end funnel analytics from first touch to long-term retention. You will work side by side with Marketing, Data Science and Product, and you will report directly to the Engineering Director. You Will: Design, build and operate reliable batch and streaming pipelines that unify paid, owned and organic marketing data (spend, impressions, installs, sessions, conversions) with in-platform user behavior. Own the data foundation for MMM: build well-documented, versioned, analysis-ready datasets and backfills that Data Science can use to train, refresh and validate models on a regular cadence.

The mission of the Foundation AI group is to enable Roblox Creators to accelerate their workflows and to put GenAI in the hands of millions of users. We envision a future in which experiences on Roblox leverage generative text and speech capabilities to enable new forms of interaction, generative 3D and 4D capabilities to enable new ways to create, and generative video to give creators a level of visual fidelity and motion that has never been available at this scale. We shipped our 3D foundation model, which takes text prompts as input and generates production ready 3D objects and worlds. We are now building the Roblox Video Model; the Super Upsampler at the heart of Roblox Reality, our hybrid architecture that pairs the structured simulation of the Roblox Game Engine and Roblox Cloud with the photorealism of Video World Models. The engine stays the source of truth for the data model: state, physics, collision, logic, and multiplayer consistency. The video model generates the pixels: higher fidelity textures, realistic lighting, secondary motion, fluid dynamics, and the unscripted detail of a real world. A world model paired with our engine, enables persistent, multiplayer, photorealistic w
