Senior Software Engineer, Roblox OS

Roblox Operating System (ROS) unifies People and Work data primitives into a central platform that powers how employees collaborate and operate across Roblox. On the Talent Acquisition and Compensation (TACo) team, we build the products and systems that help Roblox attract, hire, and reward world-class talent. We create the tools behind recruiting and hiring, compensation planning, and the data workflows that support these processes.

As a Senior Software Engineer on TACo, you’ll build and scale internal products used by recruiting partners, compensation stakeholders, and employees across Roblox. The role is full-stack, with opportunities to contribute across responsive user interfaces, robust backend services, integrations, and CLI/MCP surfaces. With AI transforming the way we work, you’ll have the autonomy to explore and integrate cutting-edge solutions that help Roblox operate at 10x efficiency.

We need someone who thrives with autonomy and ownership—a builder who can advocate for best development practices, seamlessly collaborate with external vendors, and work directly with Roblox Executives to drive meaningful impact.
