What the job involves

- Our responsibility to monitor and protect directly impacts players, developers, employees, the platform, the company, third parties, and the general public

- Command Security Incidents, ensuring that any serious threats and impacts are understood, mitigated, and learned from with speed and professionalism
- Conduct Investigations, digging into the context of situations, determining if a threat exists, and taking action to prevent it
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Infosec, Legal, HR, executive teams, external stakeholders (Developers & Customers), and the security community
- Work with Security and Engineering teams to support (and sometimes lead) high-profile events or responses to vulnerabilities
- Produce Security response procedures, including runbooks, IRPs, workflows, automations, and internal briefings
- Threat Hunt for anomalous activity in our signals, determining if outliers are threats or expected behavior
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.
