Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play,

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 Consumer App Foundation team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to

improve Roblox performance across our supported platforms. Our platform is used

by over 150M people daily. You will work primarily in cross-platform C++ Roblox

game engine code, partnering with teams across the company to identify

bottlenecks, ship measurable improvements, and prevent regressions over time.

Our team is responsible for the end-to-end performance of the Roblox client on

Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Xbox, Playstation and TV. We tackle the platform’s

most difficult technical constraints, ranging from speed and responsiveness to

efficiency and stability, to ensure a high-performance experience across all of

our devices and platforms.

You will:

* Own the end-to-end performance of the Roblox client across all platforms

directly moving the needle on our key metrics: TTI, app size, battery usage

and more.

* Build the benchmarking, profiling, and telemetry systems required to catch

regressions early and continue scaling our application even further.

* Collaborate closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, and Design

to evaluate technical tradeoffs, align on company-wide priorities, and

execute smooth rollout plans.

* Drive deep technical impact by diving into complex, unfamiliar codebases,

taking ambitious projects from greenfield MVP to production-grade, and

mentoring peers on performance best practices.

You have:

* 3+ years of experience writing high-quality, performant C++ code in large,

complex codebases

* A proven track record of building reliable measurement, monitoring, or

regression prevention systems.

* The ability to autonomously navigate complex, ambiguous systems and deliver

stable, production-grade software.

* Exceptional communication skills to discuss technical trade-offs with both

engineering peers and cross-functional partners.

Bonus:

* Hands-on experience with on-device profiling (iOS and/or Android) to find and

measure optimization opportunities.
