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 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
