About this role
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.
The platforms in our Engineering Acceleration org dictate how thousands of Roblox engineers ship, and how every backend service gets built, deployed, and kept reliable at scale. They sit on the critical path for production reliability, developer velocity, and security posture. Reporting to Andrew Swerdlow, you will rethink the entire engineering toolchain from the ground up to be agentic-native, creating a world where AI agents are first-class participants in software development and humans set direction and supervise. This is a unique opportunity to define what modern engineering infrastructure looks like at one of the largest platforms in the world.
You will:
• Reimagine the engineering toolchain as agentic-native, designing the platforms, guardrails, and feedback loops that let AI agents safely drive migrations, validation, and routine operational work.
• Set a bold technical direction for AI-driven quality, including agent-generated tests, automated coverage of untested paths, intelligent verification, and continuous-deployment workflows.
• Make software quality and SEV prevention a measurable property of the platform by investing in safe-change mechanisms, automated verification, progressive rollout, and fast, reliable rollback.
• Drive down operational toil through automation, transforming manual, repeat work like patching and large-scale migrations into self-serve or agent-driven workflows.
• Own and drive the roadmap, aligning cross-pod plans and execution against company goals for safe rollouts.
You have:
• Experience leading and growing engineering teams (including managing managers and/or senior ICs), with a strong people-development track record.
• Strong technical depth in backend/distributed systems and cloud infrastructure, enabling you to engage credibly on system design and technical decisions.
• A track record delivering internal developer platforms, CI/CD, or deployment systems at scale for many internal customers and services.
• A strong point of view on how AI/agentic tooling changes engineering workflows, coupled with hands-on familiarity with the modern AI engineering stack, AI coding tools, eval design, and open-weight models.
