Roblox is hiring a full-time Software Engineer for the Creator group. You’ll build the engine tools and documentation used by the global developer community.
Hi Creators!
Have you ever wanted to go from building on the engine to building the engine?
If you are a Lua-fluent developer on the platform, come help us shape the future of Roblox!
Who we’re looking for:
In good standing with our Community Standards
Proficient in Lua/Luau and a proven track record of developing quality game(s) on the Roblox platform.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into understandable, compelling guides and documentation.
Why join?
This is a unique opportunity to directly influence the tools and engine features that millions of creators use every day. You’ll be bridging the gap between cutting-edge engine capabilities and real-world game development.
Your mission will be to serve as the critical bridge between our internal development teams and the world’s most prestigious AAA studios.
You will have the opportunity to help with the end-to-end production schedule for multiple projects, ensuring milestones meet the rigorous quality standards of our AAA partners.
**Note: We hire on a rolling basis, so don’t wait!
Hear from our Community Hire:
Elle Deppe, Senior Software Engineer (she/her)
“As someone who grew up on the platform, I love being able to empower the next generation of creators! Working here offers great opportunities to shape and build the products that we as devs use on a daily basis.”
“As an Industry veteran, having the opportunity to join Roblox and help bridge the gap between ambitious developer visions and next-generation toolchains has been a real pleasure.”
We look forward to your application, and we can’t wait to build with you soon!
I can’t even find the school I went in, I just put “Other”.
If this is USA only again, then gg. I could not express my rage over all this. I don’t even know what to write anymore or how it is reviewed, that I lost fate putting effort whenever they write out applications.
This one for instance describes as being the critical bridge between internal and triple AAA Studios, but they already can’t even be the bridge the bugs we reported in that one Roblox Program to the internal teams at all times.
Like the bent elbows from Animation Retargeting. Now, it could have been a mistake. But I don’t believe so anymore.
It says “or an equivalent practical experience” as well, in other words if you have enough experience you could get hired too. Unless I missed something. It does give the option for “Non-degree seeking” under degree.
I mean, they’d bring you to the USA, I think. Whatever is easier for both, I don’t know. But I’d imagine so.
They could do remote or something, but either they don’t want to, or they don’t know about international stuff. I remember reading the first Community Apprenticeship, back in many years ago, which would explicitly say that they’d invite you to the USA, no matter where you’d be from.
I don’t mind remote or not remote. But I think they’d pick someone from USA over the other way, unlike a few years ago.
thanks for posting about this exciting role! As a EU-based candidate I would like to ask if the role is on-site only or if it would be possible to be employed over a payroll company or over your GmbH based in Germany?
You’re very outdated. This is also for a full time position which typically have onsite expectations these days. Roblox RTO’d a few years ago and they’re very rigid on permitting new remote employees except in exceptional cases. The majority of the most skilled people I know are not based in North America, which makes onsite requirements a terrible waste of talent, passion, and domain knowledge.
Find a Roblox dev of multiple years who too has a background enough in programming to warrant keeping them as a full-time dev on site. And one that’s in the US cause they’re not paying 100k whatever visa for someone to come to the US.
For US based roles only, please note the Company may not be able to employ candidates for this role who have United States work authorization related to certain U.S. visa categories, or support future H-1B sponsorship at this time.
Meaning if you’re not from the US they won’t sponsor you.
