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.

Engineering Manager, Home Infrastructure

The Home Infrastructure team builds the mission-critical backend and data systems that power Roblox’s Homepage and Experience Details Page, two of the highest-traffic surfaces on Roblox. These surfaces reach the vast majority of Roblox’s daily active users and are core drivers of discovery, engagement, retention, and platform growth.

We are a full-stack product infrastructure team responsible for content distribution across Roblox. Our systems support multiple modes of user interaction, including exploratory browsing, directed discovery, and personalized content recommendations across the many types of content that make up the Roblox ecosystem.

This team sits at the intersection of large-scale distributed systems, machine learning-powered personalization, data infrastructure, and product experimentation. We partner closely with Machine Learning, Data Science, Product, Design, Frontend, Ads, Marketplace, Virtual Economy, and other teams across Roblox to build the platforms that help users find the most relevant and engaging content.

As Engineering Manager for Home Infrastructure, you will lead a team of Backend and Data Engineers responsible for the end-to-end infrastructure powering Roblox’s most important discovery surfaces. You will guide the team’s technical strategy, grow engineering talent, and drive execution on high-impact systems that operate at massive scale.
