  • Deep Systems Expertise: Extensive experience with scalable architectures, high-performance systems, and the "systems-first" mindset required for massive scale.
  • Product Intuition: The ability to move between deep technical implementation and high level product strategy, ensuring engineering efforts drive user and developer value.
  • Full-Stack Versatility: Proven ability to adapt to various technologies and "roll up your sleeves" to tackle complex infrastructure challenges across the stack.
  • Leadership Track Record: Experience initiating significant technical decisions across multiple teams and mentoring senior technical talent.
  • Academic Background: BS in Computer Science or a related field; MS or PhD is a definite plus.

You'll Love:
  • Owning the Foundation: Designing the architecture behind Roblox's most foundational economic and expression systems.
  • Massive Impact: Solving real-world problems that directly affect millions of users and creators every day.
