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.
Developer Monetization is the economic engine of Roblox, our team owns the surfaces and systems responsible for over 70% of platform revenue. We build the products that let millions of creators monetize their work and that shape how hundreds of millions of users discover and purchase virtual goods across the world's largest virtual economy.
We're building the next generation of that economy, including auto-generated storefronts, autonomous pricing systems, and personalized shopping experiences. All delivered at zero cost to the creator. We're constantly reimagining what's possible and the frontend is where all of this comes to life.
As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you'll own critical user-facing products end-to-end, lead projects with high economic impact, and partner closely with product, design, data science, and ML teams. This is a high-ownership role with real room to grow for engineers who want to pair strong frontend craft with meaningful business impact.
You Will
- Build intelligent monetization tools that automatically detect pricing drift, run experiments, optimize per-item pricing, and surface regional offers to users.
- Design and ship personalized shopping experiences that surface the right content to hundreds of millions of users across web and mobile.
- Build and operate services that power storefronts and pricing infrastructure — reliable, performant, and handling 20M+ QPS. Everything you ship here needs to work at a scale very few teams in the industry ever touch.
- Lead projects end-to-end: scope the work, make key technical decisions, run experiments, and iterate based on results.
- Partner with product, design, data science, and ML engineers to translate strategy into polished, high-performing user experiences.
You Have
- 3+ years of experience building production systems across the stack (backend services, APIs, and responsive frontend applications).
- Strong intuition for user experience. You notice when something feels off and you know how to fix it.
- Experience with A/B testing, experimentation, and using data to inform product decisions.
- Comfort leading projects across ambiguity: scoping work, coordinating with cross-functional partners, and driving to delivery.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a similar technical field (or equivalent experience).
- Bonus: Experience with e-commerce, monetization platforms, or personalization systems.
You Are
- User-obsessed. You care deeply about the people using what you build.
- Entrepreneurial. You identify what matters most, propose solutions, and move.
- Versatile. You're comfortable moving between frontend and backend.
- Impact-oriented. You measure your work by whether it moved the needle, not just deliverables.
- Collaborative. You thrive working across engineering, product, design, and data science, and you're comfortable influencing decisions beyond your own code.
