WHY ROBLOX?

Roblox is ushering in the next generation of entertainment, allowing people to imagine, create, and play together in immersive, user-generated worlds. We're the one and only fastest-growing entertainment platform that lets anyone teach themselves how to code, publish, and monetize any experience imaginable-across any device-reaching millions of players across the globe.

The impact that you can have at Roblox is powerful. We're looking for someone who's eager to take on a meaningful role in the success of Roblox on a massive scale. Someone who takes play seriously, but also isn't afraid to have some fun either. Someone who's ready to take Roblox-and their career-to the next level.

In 2018, we were honored to be recognized as a Certified Great Place to Work®. We've fostered a company culture that empowers people to do the most defining work of their career in an environment that's made up of the most passionate, team-oriented, visionary, crazy-smart people you'll ever meet. Join the Roblox team where play rules and the possibilities are endless.

As a Senior C++ Systems Engineer on our Game Engine Team, you will have an immediate impact on the building blocks of Roblox itself. The software you build is a very large and complex application that empowers our global community of 2M+ Developers to push the boundaries of interactive gaming. Your work will touch every part of the engine - from threading and memory management to physics and scripting. If you enjoy engineering cutting-edge C++ software alongside highly-skilled and passionate Engineers, you will be right at home on our growing game engine team.

You Are:

* A systems-level C++ programmer: pointers, templates, and raw blocks of memory are your tools for writing high-performance code
* Self-sufficient: you can break down high-level tasks and drive them to completion
* Experienced with multiple platforms: you jump with ease between Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, XBox, and other platforms (coming soon)

You Will:

* Develop engine code that performs well for all user-created games on the Roblox platform
* Improve scripting, memory management, bootstrapping, and other fundamental layers of the Roblox engine
* Find solutions which conserve battery on mobile devices while being amazingly realistic on high-end platforms
* Work on every application Roblox develops, from mobile phone clients to cloud-based servers
* Self-organize your work and take ownership of projects throughout their full life-cycles

You'll Love:

* Working on unique projects that are seen - and enjoyed - by millions of active Roblox users every day
* Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage
* A rewarding 401k program
* Flexible vacation policy
* Free catered lunches five times a week and several fully stocked kitchens with unlimited snacks
* Onsite fitness center and fitness program credit
* Annual CalTrain Go Pass
* A super-cool Roblox Admin badge for your avatar
* Rockstar status with our community

Roblox - Powering Imagination.
