- Improve test reliability and debugging: Build tools and services that improve test stability, observability, failure diagnosis, and maintenance across a large and evolving test ecosystem
- Shift quality earlier in the development lifecycle: Integrate automated quality checks and actionable test feedback into development and CI/CD workflows to help teams identify and resolve issues earlier
- Drive projects end to end: Take ownership of technical initiatives from problem definition, design, and implementation through production deployment, adoption, measurement, and continuous improvement
- Collaborate across engineering: Partner with application, platform, QA, infrastructure, and developer productivity teams to develop scalable solutions that address the needs of engineers across Roblox
You have:
- 2+ years of experience building large-scale backend or infrastructure systems. An understanding of building systems that operate at high QPS with low-latency requirements is a plus. Experience working on infrastructure or performance-critical backend systems is a plus.
- Knowledge: You are proficient in one or more programming languages (C#, Go, Python or similar programming language).
- Curiosity: You are curious and passionate about solving open-ended problems. You can identify challenges, develop a deep understanding of the systems involved, and drive solutions in collaboration with your team.
