Job Description
Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators.
At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there.
A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone.
As a senior software engineer on the Cell Platform team at Roblox, you will build systems that Roblox engineers use to create and deploy resources onto Kubernetes. Our engineers deploy their services in a complex, hybrid, multiple-cluster, K8s environment. The Cell Platform manages this complexity for our users, with tools, APIs, K8s controllers, and UX, simplifying infrastructure for our internal customers.
You Have:
- A desire to work on critical, large-scale distributed systems
- An appreciation of observability and instrumentation and tooling to make your life easier
- 3+ years of experience as software engineer
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or an equivalent field
You will:
- Build our Roblox-wide control plane using Kubernetes primitives (and plenty of custom resources)
- Work on the interface of the few hundred person infrastructure organization to the thousands of Roblox engineers
- Write and review high quality code and tests (largely Golang)
- Work on a team that cares about inclusivity and shipping
