The Account Security (AccSec) pod sits within the Accounts team (part of the broader Safety organization) and is at the heart of building a safe and civil platform for users of all ages. Account Security is especially challenging at Roblox because it is open to all ages. As the EM of AccSec pod (7+ ICs) you will work closely with peers throughout Roblox and the creator community to reduce the impact of account takeover (i.e. compromise) for Roblox players, creators, and the broader community. This is a role that requires entrepreneurship. We are looking for the EM of the AccSec pod to, in collaboration with product partners, to formulate a strategy for how to reduce ATO, reduce the impact of any remaining ATO and build community trust in the security of their accounts. Examples of past and current efforts include: Cryptographically binding user secrets to hardware backed secrets. Detecting client side tampering by Browser extensions. Integration with Passkeys. Post-login modeling for ATO detection. Reducing incentives for bad actors by making assets more recoverable.

We expect our engineering managers to be comfortable contributing code, leading rigorous architectural reviews, and diving deep into complex system challenges alongside your team. Experiment. We try to be data informed and be intentional about when we make decisions in the absence of data. Scale your impact. We have millions of concurrent players on the platform and 100M+ monthly active accounts. Some have millions of dollars worth of value on the platform. All need to be secured.

Every 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. We are seeking a visionary Principal Software Engineer to join our Compute organization and provide technical leadership for our Kubernetes infrastructure. You will drive the evolution of a platform that powers our global scale operations, transforming Kubernetes into a secure, reliable, and invisible foundation for our developers across our on-prem and public cloud fleet. Your mission is to balance cutting-edge innovation with rigorous platform stability, ensuring that internal and external customers have a seamless, high-performance experience at massive scale. You Will: Architectural Leadership: Serve as a technical lead for our Kubernetes ecosystem, setting the long-term architectural strategy for a platform that manages thousands of nodes and supports millions of concurrent requests. Customer Focus: Think deeply about how our internal customers consume and interact with compute, designing intuitive interfaces and tooling that simplify consumption of complex infrastructure services. Deep-Dive Engineering: Leverage deep expertise in Kubernetes internals, including custom controllers, operators, API server architecture, and etcd, to solve complex scaling bottlenecks and optimize our control plane. Secure Multi-tenancy: Architect robust security, isolation, and identity solutions that allow diverse workloads to safely coexist at scale. Operational Excellence: Lead the design of advanced automation, observability, and self-healing systems that minimize MTTR and maintain world-class uptime for our global compute fleet. Strategic Influence: Partner with engineering leadership to define the technical roadmap, balancing feature velocity against platform integrity. Mentorship: Foster a culture of technical excellence across the Compute organization through rigorous architectural reviews, code standards, and the active mentorship of senior and staff-level engineers. You Have: Experience: 10+ years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes Expertise: Demonstrated expertise in Kubernetes internals, with a track record of modifying or extending the Kubernetes ecosystem (custom controllers, operators, upstream contributions). Production Scale: A history of building and operating mission-critical infrastructure platforms that serve thousands of nodes or high-throughput, low-latency microservices. Security & Networking: Deep understanding of cloud-native security practices, identity solutions, and container networking. Technical Leadership: Proven track record as a technical anchor, with the ability to communicate complex concepts, influence cross-functional stakeholders, and lead initiatives across multiple teams.

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. As a Principal Software Engineer on the Compute team, you will be the technical anchor for Roblox's GPU and AI accelerator capabilities. This is a battle-tested GPU expert role focused on the machine management layer and above: how GPU hosts are made production-ready, kept healthy, and turned into reliable compute for the workloads that depend on them. You will own the hard problems that show up only at scale, from driver and firmware management to GPU health, reliability, and performance across a rapidly growing fleet of accelerators spanning Roblox data centers and cloud environments. You will set the technical direction for GPU compute and up-level the entire organization's GPU expertise. You will: Serve as the GPU technical leader for the Compute team, partnering across Kubernetes, Machine Bootstrap, Networking, and Cloud to drive GPU strategy end to end. Own the GPU host lifecycle above raw fleet management: driver, firmware, and CUDA stack management, GPU health and telemetry, and remediation of GPU-specific failures (XID errors, ECC, thermal, NVLink and fabric faults). Architect how GPU capacity is exposed to compute platforms, including scheduling, isolation, and integration with Kubernetes for GPU and AI workloads. Drive GPU reliability and performance at fleet scale, defining the detection, diagnosis, and automated repair of unhealthy accelerators before they impact production. Evaluate and onboard new GPU and AI accelerator platforms, networking topologies (NVLink, InfiniBand, RoCE), and multi-node training and inference patterns. Establish the standards, tooling, and APIs that let other engineering teams consume GPU compute safely and efficiently, reducing toil and raising the bar for the org. You have: 10+ years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems and infrastructure. Deep, hands-on GPU expertise at the machine management layer and above: GPU host provisioning, driver and firmware lifecycle, GPU health and reliability, and the realities of running accelerators in production. A track record as an expert for compute, not just fleet management, with the scars to prove you have scaled GPU or accelerator infrastructure that other teams depend on. Strong proficiency in Go or other well-structured programming languages. Experience operating GPU and AI workloads in production, including familiarity with CUDA, GPU scheduling, and high-performance networking (NVLink, InfiniBand, RoCE). Familiarity with Kubernetes for GPU workloads and with bare-metal concepts (firmware, BMC/IPMI/Redfish, OS imaging) is a strong plus. A history of being the anchor expert that an organization relies on for its hardest GPU and compute problems, and the leadership to up-level the engineers around you.
