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 Modeling Engineer, you will make the Roblox user-generated levels, characters, props, and other geometry the best it can be. You will build and deliver on a plan to apply industry-leading algorithms and methods to create the tools that let developers build something that's amazing, no matter whether the target platform is mobile, desktop, console or VR.
You are:
* Experienced in interactive modeling: Several years of working with geometry for interactive environments, perhaps in a gaming environment
* Fluent in 3D mathematics: You understand geometry representation, mesh parameterization, linear algebra, and the other tools of the trade
* Good at C++ programming: Pointers, templates, and raw blocks of memory are tools to write high-performance code, not your enemies
* Eager to learn: Able to adapt to a dynamic-everything environment where pre-computation isn't always possible
* Self-sufficient: Experienced in working with internal and external stakeholders to deliver projects that keep working once they're done
* A leader: Comfortable in defining and championing a plan to improve modeling capabilities over time, and marshal others to your cause
* Engine/platform oriented: You might have helped develop a game engine from scratch, or done other similar projects
* Resource minded: You have probably worked in alternate and constrained platforms like consoles or mobile devices
You will:
* Develop engine code that helps developer build awesome geometry for all user-created games on the Roblox platform
* Select the right balance of models and algorithms to achieve the best outcome for each use case
* Carry the torch for the future of interactive modeling in user-generated games
* Optimize geometry implementations to conserve battery on mobile phones while being amazingly realistic on high end platforms
* Self-organize and take ownership of a project throughout its full lifecycle
* Find out how Roblox is special and how you can harness that to deliver awesome environments using industry-leading techniques across all platforms
You'll Love:
* 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 Roblox Admin badge for your avatar
