The posting, in Roblox's own words
archived Sep 16, 2026Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators. At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there. A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone. 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 detect, remove, and prevent problematic accounts, content and behavior, and we make Roblox accounts secure and free from compromise. We cover a broad area of the tech spectrum, including machine learning, classifiers for 3D models, experimentation, automation, detection workflows, and AI-powered text filters. Aligned and partnering with product teams, we use this toolbelt 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 Account Authentication We provide the gateway for users having access to millions of experiences and the broader Roblox community. Nearly every feature on the platform assumes that the user is who they say they are. The role of the Account Authentication pod is to provide that assurance at sign-up, login, account recovery and elsewhere.
You Will:
Assume ownership of the complete lifecycle for full-stack features within Account Authentication. Past examples of this team’s contributions include: Supporting platform expansion onto consoles like Xbox and Playstation. Providing mechanisms for users to go entirely passwordless from sign-up while still having recoverable accounts. Scale our backend systems by supporting token authentication on edge nodes. Implementing service accounts to support testing (and potentially NPCs) by 3P agents. Lead cross team collaboration across organizational and functional boundaries. Especially with various security, infra, and client platform teams. Mentor more junior engineers while also making individual technical contributions. We are looking for a hands-on technical lead. Take complete responsibility for projects throughout their entire lifecycle. Drive cross-functional engagement and lead technical initiatives to ensure the widespread adoption and success of our core safety applications. Propose and land solutions to ambiguous problems while leading cohorts of 2-4 more junior individual contributors.
