Join Roblox as a Senior Backend Software Engineer on the Co-Experience team. You will work on high-visibility initiatives that define the future of age-appropriate communication. Your expertise will strengthen the backend infrastructure, build out new features, and accelerate our path toward product-market fit. You will collaborate with a cross-functional team, take end-to-end ownership of projects, and maintain, improve, and scale the Roblox party system. You should have 5+ years of experience working on microservice architectures, a strong understanding of server-side development, and a track record of leveraging AI-assisted development tools.
- Collaborer au sein d'une équipe interfonctionnelle pour concevoir, développer et maintenir des services backend pour un système de communication social.

- The ability to author a clear, actionable technical design document that aligns stakeholders and holds up in architectural review
- Product-opinionated: You don't just execute plans, you proactively shape our roadmap, and push for the right product outcomes
- 5+ years of experience working on microservice architectures, with a proven track record in addressing scalability and reliability challenges (4+ years with a graduate degree in computer science or a related field)
- An AI advocate: You actively push the boundaries of AI-assisted development, for yourself and for your team
- All-round: You're a generalist, open to learning new languages and technologies, and drawn to the parts of the system you haven't worked on yet
- Continuously growing: You take pride in your craft and hold yourself to a higher standard each quarter
- Strong understanding of server-side development and design principles, with proficiency in at least one compiled language such as C#, C++, Java, Golang, or other
- Kind and generous: You treat colleagues with respect, assume good intent, and go out of your way to help others succeed. You believe technical excellence without kindness is not enough
- 3+ years of experience building systems behind consumer-facing APIs that handle large numbers of concurrent users
- A track record of leveraging AI-assisted development tools to maximize engineering velocity, allowing you to navigate large codebases, iterate on complex logic, and move from idea to production-ready code with high efficiency
