WHY ROBLOX?

Roblox’s imagination platform is ushering in the next generation of entertainment. Roblox enables kids of all ages to imagine, create, and play together in immersive experiences on their phones, desktops, consoles, and VR. Powered by a growing global community of millions of creators, Roblox enables anyone to build, publish, and monetize their creations.

ComScore ranks Roblox as one of the top digital properties in the US for kids under the age of 18 and has been named One of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the Inc. 5000 for two consecutive years.

Work with the most passionate, team-oriented, visionary, and crazy-smart people you’ll ever meet. The engineers at Roblox are working on the hardest problems in tech today -- distributed systems, real time communication, 3D co-experience, massive data processing, social networking, rendering, physics, and more. As a Roblox engineer, you will have real ownership and impact across one or more of these domains.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Avatar Reference & Experience team, you will leverage the Roblox game engine to build experiences that push the boundaries of our avatar technology, and build innovative applications that make Roblox avatars simple & delightful to use.

We are looking for engineers passionate about building world class user experiences from both usability and performance perspectives. You need to be proficient in C++, data structures, algorithms, and networking. You’ll be working with Avatar technologies such as animation, clothing, hair, and shading.
