Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of professional experience and a tool chest of system design experience upon which to draw to build scalable, reliable platforms for all of Roblox

- Experienced with the end-to-end ML model lifecycle such as model serving, training, model CI/CD, and GPU resources management, and have built ML platform features that are delightful to use
- An automation advocate: you're passionate about infrastructure-as-code and automating painful manual processes
- A reliability nut: you love digging into tricky postmortems and identifying weaknesses in complicated systems
- Passionate about supporting internal partners (data scientists and ML Engineers) to meet and understand their needs
What the job involves

- Set technical strategy and oversee development of high scale and reliable infrastructure systems
- Propose and implement new platform tooling to improve time to production for MLEs and Data Scientists across the full ML lifecycle
- Work on infrastructure projects such as GPU fleet management, hybrid-cloud orchestration, and writing custom Kubernetes controllers and resources
- Stay abreast of industry trends in machine learning and infrastructure to ensure the adoption of leading-edge technologies and practices
- Partner across organizations to build tooling, interfaces, and visualizations that make the ML@Roblox a delight to use
Our take
While online gaming is no longer a revolutionary concept, Roblox has established itself as a leader in the industry by creating a gaming toolbox that encourages quality game creation, which it pays developers for.
In addition to standard games, the platform offers virtual worlds and other experiences to explore and interact with. Its platform provides an online ecosystem for millions to create, socialize, chat, and explore immersive experiences with friends. In fact, in the US its used by two-thirds of children aged 9 to 12.
The experiences on the platform are made by Roblox's over three million creators, and are available on a range of devices from PC to Xbox to Oculus, and more. The company has grown at an impressive rate, and has been keen to adopt new developments in the tech world, for example with its real-time AI translation for players to interact outside their native tongue.
