About the role
Roblox is seeking a Principal Software Engineer for the Build Platform in San Mateo, CA. You will shape the architecture behind AI-powered creation, oversee long-running workflows, model routing, tool and skill execution, and the safety, cost, and observability aspects of the platform. You will lead with hands-on technical leadership, drive collaboration across teams, and define scalable systems for millions of creators. The role is based at Roblox HQ in San Mateo with onsite work requirements.
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.
