About the role

Roblox is seeking a principal engineer for the Object Store team to design and operate an exabyte-scale, multi-tenant storage platform. You will shape architecture, drive data placement and tiering, and guide a broad set of engineers across on-prem infrastructure to deliver durable, high-throughput storage at global scale. You will own multi-year strategy, lead architecture decisions away from cloud storage, and mentor teams while improving observability and automation.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
