WHY SAFETY?
At Roblox, we strive to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and the Safety organization's mission is to become the leader in civil immersive online communities. We systematically and proactively detect, remove, and prevent problematic content and behavior, and we make Roblox accounts secure and free from compromise. We also keep the platform compliant for changing regulations and growth markets. We cover a broad area of the tech spectrum, including machine learning, experimentation, automation, highly scalable distributed backend systems, detection workflows, and AI-powered text filters. Aligned and partnering with product teams, we use this tool belt to discover new opportunities, influence and shape the product roadmap and prioritization, build safety products, and measure the impact on our community of users and developers. In doing so, we keep Roblox safe, civil, and inclusive, and we foster positive relationships between people around the world.

WHY User Safety ?
At Roblox, we believe that Safety and Civility are fundamental to fostering a vibrant, creative community. As a Senior Software Engineer on User Safety, you will be responsible for designing and building large scale systems for abuse reporting, a critical part of keeping Roblox safe.  You will work on services with substantial scaling needs in the path of many critical user journeys, and you will feel a true sense of ownership and responsibility in thoughtfully and fairly protecting our users, while carefully balancing freedom and civility.

You Will:

  • Build large-scale services for intaking, enriching, routing, and decisioning abuse reports.
  • Work closely with UX design, research, data science, and product managers to substantially improve the efficacy, scale, and trustworthiness of abuse reporting.
  • Help evolve our moderation infrastructure to meet new safety and compliance requirements.
  • Leverage ML to tackle difficult problems at scale.
  • Work with a tightly-knit, high-performing, diverse, and energetic cross-functional product engineering team with a strong sense of camaraderie.

You Have:

  • 5+ years of experience with scalable infrastructure and distributed systems
  • 5+ years of experience in Golang/C++/C#/Java/etc.
  • Experience with modern microservice architecture.
  • Capability and willingness in being predominantly a product engineer but occasionally serve a platform role with internal partners.
  • Interest with Safety systems.
  • A growth mindset.
  • Experience with the Trust & Safety domain (preferred)
  • Experience with AI/ML at scale (preferred) 

You Are:

  • An owner: Taking responsibility for not just your own work, but the work of your teammates, and ensuring that our users are safe on Roblox.
  • A learner: Constantly seeking knowledge to grow yourself and your impact.
  • Independent: Requiring little guidance and are generally able to resolve yourself.
  • Compassionate: To the needs and motivations of our users and creators - not just those who are exposed to violative content, but also those who are responsible for the abuse.
  • Team Oriented: You lift up your peers and find ways to make the team stronger.
