Role
Who you are
- Someone who has demonstrated creative problem-solving in any context —professional, academic, athletic, personal projects, community work, or self-directed learning
- Value the design of everything around you, from software to hardware, from architecture to art
- Curious to understand people's needs and their relationship with technology, seeing this as essential to the design and creative process
- Eager to learn, you see every project as an opportunity to grow your skills and perspective
- Examples of how you've solved problems for people — this doesn't have to be a design portfolio. It could be a project you led, a community you built, a product you improved, a process you redesigned, or a challenge you navigated creatively
- Availability to work full-time on-site at our San Mateo, CA headquarters for the duration of the 6-month program
- Must be at least 18 years old
What the job involves

- This 6-month program is designed for those who may not have a conventional design background but demonstrate an exceptional ability to solve people-problems with empathy, curiosity, and resilience
- You will get hands-on experience and direct mentorship from senior designers and creatives and be part of the diverse community of early career talent. At the completion of this program, you’ll have the opportunity to apply to a full-time position at Roblox
- Build core skills in user-centered design principles, visual design, interaction design, and design thinking
- Learn design systems, prototyping tools, accessibility best practices, and experiment with emerging technologies to push the boundaries
- Dive into understanding our business and the user/creator ecosystem
- Advocate for solving user problems, maintaining a high bar for quality and consistency
- Receive mentorship and feedback from experienced designers to accelerate your growth and refine your craft
- Deliver a final capstone project that demonstrates your growth, design thinking, and ability to solve problems for people with a focus on empathy, craft, and creativity
Our take
Online gaming may be a well-established space, but Roblox has distinguished itself as a leader by empowering its community to build, share, and profit from their own creations, turning game development into an accessible, rewarding ecosystem for millions of users.
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.
While the platform does face scrutiny over users safety (particularly given its young audience) the company's efforts to strengthen parental controls and open dialogue through initiatives like its new Parents Council signal a growing commitment to addressing these challenges. At the same time, its financial performance and creator-focused investments underscore a business in very strong health. With record payouts to developers, an expanding older player base, and a platform that increasingly rewards creative talent, Roblox's trajectory remains one of innovation and impressive growth.
