2025 Community Apprenticeship Software Engineering: Applications Now Open!

I just read this on the description here:

Please note the Company may not be able to employ candidates who have United States work authorization related to certain U.S. visa categories, or support future F-1 or H-1B sponsorship at this time.

Because I am not in university nor am I in school or anything, I am not eligible for a F-1 CPT or J-1 Visa, would this mean I would need to go on my own ways of obtaining a work visa via the embassy in my country? The problem is, this would mean IF I would be accepted I would need to be notified early enough that I can obtain such a visa, because there are obviously waiting times involved with the United States Embassy in my country. And It would need to be a clear confirmation of “Yes you will be a intern” otherwise the embassy would not give me a work visa if I just tell them that I “might” be able to work. When are applicants notified if they were accepted as a intern?

Are we still eligible for this position if we did not make it through the 2024 apprenticeship round? I had some technical issues with the coding challenge that time around and wasn’t able to actually complete it.

5. What are the dates of the Apprenticeship?
We have a variety of start dates to accommodate different timelines.
- Quoted from the Early Career Page

Can we get more details regarding dates and accommodations? As someone currently enrolled in University, I am curious about the time overlap this will have with class start and end dates.

Hello!

  1. Unfortunately, this opportunity requires the individual to be onsite at Roblox headquarters in San Mateo, CA.
  2. All good if you haven’t created popular tools or experiences! That is not a requirement for this program - the main focus is to find individuals that have experience creating using Roblox’s technology in any capacity.

I hope this helps!

Hi there!

The interview process can take 4-6 weeks from assessment completion to offer notice, meaning we should have our final class hired months before the first start date of the apprenticeship. I hope this clarifies!

TLDR, yes! We have a new hiring cycle each season, and we do not take into consideration your results or interview performance for previous seasons when considering you for the 2025 opportunity. I hope this helps!

Hi there! We have 3 different start dates ranging from Mid-May to Mid June. We’ll work with you to determine the best date that works for you and your schedule.

Will there be a strong emphasis on an applicant’s understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms when considering them for employment? I researched the coding assessment and in totality, it appears to be gauging DSA knowledge almost strictly in regards to scoring.

Won’t be able to continue the assessments and move onto interviews unfortunately for personal reasons. I wish all other participants the best of luck however.

What are some important dates for this? I can’t seem to find an application deadline or when the internship will occur. Maybe I just missed it but I can’t seem to find it

I unfortunately got immediately rejected with no reasoning as to why, got it around 1 day after sending in my application. I did not even get a chance to do assessments, I just immediately got rejected after sending it without actually doing any sort of tests here.

I’m very late to this, I’m not from Roblox but I can give you some reasons why you might not have been accepted.

  • You’re from somewhere outside of the US and don’t have a valid green card or any at all, or if you have a H1B visa.
  • You are not old enough or don’t meet the age requirement.
  • You don’t have or are working for a degree in the specific field.
  • Had negative reports from moderation or a mostly negative community standards history.

That’s all I can really think of right now, if you go through the application page thoroughly to see what the issue could be.

And if none of these things are the issue, that you can always apply next time! :slight_smile:

Hello,

When is the latest to send in an application? Right now, I am currently busy working on college applications myself.

Thanks!
