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. About the Team The CI and CD Foundation team is the backbone of our engineering velocity. Our mission is to engineer and deliver a CI/CD ecosystem that streamlines the integration and delivery of our core client code—including the Game Engine, Studio, and User Apps. We are laser-focused on three goals: enhancing overall build reliability, maximizing developer productivity, and ensuring consistent software quality. We’re building and improving pipelines and tools to transform SDLC in the age of AI-driven software development. The Role As a Principal Software Engineer on the CI/CD Foundation team, you will serve as the chief technical strategist and architect responsible for transforming how Roblox builds, tests, and ships code at massive scale. Our build and delivery ecosystem handles immense complexity: decades of C++ game engine code, extensive Lua applications, complex native platforms, and a sprawling monorepo with massive, growing test suites. You will lead the technical vision to modernize, decouple, and accelerate this ecosystem—driving radical improvements across our Local Dev Inner Loop (pre-commit/pre-push), CI (PR validation, speculative execution, merge queues), and CD (OTA

The Engineering Acceleration team delivers a world-class development experience to our 2000+ Roblox teammates who write, build, and ship the most incredible virtual experience platform in the world. As a Principal Software Engineer, you will set the technical direction for transforming development at Roblox from its solid roots to a fully scaled, globally mature, AI-powered development, code review and CI environment. If you are passionate about engineering productivity and you've ever wanted to define — not just build — the systems that fundamentally change how an entire engineering organization operates, this is your opportunity. You Will: Own, scale, and define the long-term technical vision for Roblox's source code search, storage, review, and CI infrastructure for the next 10 years of growth.

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 Game Engine team at Roblox works on the systems that power the experiences at the heart of the metaverse. Our code is the technical foundation in our client, editor, and our simulation servers. The Game Engine team is broadly split into departments — Audio-Video-Communication, Avatar, Core AI, Digital Matter, Productivity, and Systems. This position is for the Systems Runtime pod. The Runtime pod builds and maintains the foundational C++ components that power the entire Roblox engine and Studio stack. We own the runtime layer — the performance, efficiency, and usability of the core primitives that every other engineering team relies on. Think of Runtime as the “standard library” and execution engine for Roblox's C++ world. Our ownership centers on three pillars: Concurrency System — our task scheduler and fiber runtime power how work is parallelized across CPU cores, letting teams scale features across platforms while keeping code understandable and debuggable. Memory System — we own the engine's memory allocator stack, tracking pipelines, and observability tooling to make memory behavior predictable and prevent leaks and fragmentation. Profiling and Observability — we build and evolve

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. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Orchestration pod within Engine Productivity, you'll design and run the platform that executes large-scale end-to-end and integration tests, running the real, shipping client on real hardware, across Roblox's data centers, cloud, and our own device labs, so our engineering teams can ship the engine, clients, Studio, and more with speed and confidence. Every Roblox engine, client, and Studio change, along with the experiences built on top of them, should ship with confidence, and the Orchestration team is the layer that makes that possible. We build large-scale distributed services that turn thousands of test suites into a reliable, push-button pipeline: fanning work out across fleets of machines and real devices, moving artifacts to where they're needed, managing single- and multi-client test state, and giving test owners and maintainers a system to validate their own runs. It looks a lot like building a specialized cloud platform, with capacity-aware scheduling, isolation and sandboxing, and smart retry and backoff, plus the classic distributed systems problems (fairness, efficiency, failure handling, and reliability) at Roblox scale.
