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 Senior Security Software Engineer on the IAM team at Roblox, you'll build the next generation of identity and access management — defining how both humans and AI agents get identity, authenticate, and receive access to Roblox's production infrastructure. As AI agents become first-class actors in our systems, you'll design the tooling and policy that governs what they can do, how they prove who they are, and how we keep that access safe at scale. You'll also continue to evolve our workload authentication, privileged access management, and secure "golden path" for developers. Your work will directly shape the security posture of our entire production environment and set the standard for agentic IAM across the industry. You will: Design Identity and Access for AI Agents: You will define how AI agents get credentials, receive scoped permissions, and have their sessions managed throughout their lifecycle — pioneering the patterns for agentic identity in production. Engineer Hybrid Production IAM at Scale: You will design and implement scalable IAM solutions for Roblox's hybrid production environment, spanning on-premises and cloud infrastructure, ensuring secure and efficient access for humans, workloads, and AI agents across the entire ecosystem. Develop and Manage Workload Authentication & Authorization: You will build robust authentication and authorization mechanisms for workloads and services accessing production environments, enforcing least privilege and secure access controls. Establish the Secure Golden Path for Development: You will develop and maintain a streamlined, secure "golden path" framework that empowers developers to build tools and services with appropriate IAM controls baked in by default. Have the independence, opportunity, and end-to-end responsibility to develop security services within the Roblox infrastructure ecosystem. You have: 4+ years of relevant professional experience building scalable, distributed backend applications. Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, Go, C++, or C# .NET. AI fluency: You actively use AI tools in your daily workflow, understand LLM capabilities and limitations, and can reason about what it means to give an AI agent an identity and permissions. Knowledge of REST APIs, design patterns, and scalable containerized systems and microservices. Experience mentoring or leading the technical work of other engineers. Familiarity with policy and identity frameworks like OPA, Topaz, SPIFFE/SPIRE, or similar technologies used for policy enforcement, workload attestation, and identity federation in cloud-native environments Experience with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) — design, implementation, or maintenance of PKI solutions Experience with Privileged Access Management (PAM) — implementing or maintaining PAM solutions to control, monitor, and audit privileged access within production environments Familiarity with access control models such as Role-Based (RBAC), Attribute-Based (ABAC), or Risk-Based Access Control For roles that are based at our headquarters in San Mateo, CA: The starting base pay for this position is as shown below.

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. Roblox's engineering team is expanding rapidly, and we're looking for a seasoned engineering leader to help us scale our AI-powered creation platform and team. As a Senior Engineering Manager within the Creator Group, you will lead the Studio Assistant team — driving the strategy and execution of our agentic AI system that powers creation for millions of Roblox creators. Your team owns everything end-end from the user experience in Studio, to the infrastructure underneath backend by a single cloud-native architecture: one harness, one tool set, one eval framework. Your work will empower millions of creators to plan, generate, and ship content faster than ever before. At Roblox we move fast and ship code to production daily; your leadership will increase productivity by removing obstacles and keeping processes lean. You will identify and mitigate risk and make sure the technology outpaces our growth. Roblox teams are inclusive, helpful, and have a strong sense of ownership over the things they build. If you have a desire to grow and learn, you will fit right in with our highly-skilled and ever-expanding engineering team. You Are: Battle ready: You have experience defining architecture for AI systems at scale and are excited about the challenges of shipping agentic workflows to millions of creators. You can be hands-on and still define an architecture from scratch — model orchestration, tool execution, evaluation pipelines — and make sure it scales from early adopters to millions of users Versatile: You're comfortable across the full stack of an AI-powered product: cloud orchestration, LLM integration and model routing, skill/tool execution, and creator-facing client experiences. You can easily adapt to any situation when the need arises and come up with the right solution. Knowledgeable: You have a deep understanding of AI infrastructure — model serving, reliability, observability, and multi-step execution loops including planning, tool use, and recovery. You can evaluate tradeoffs, recommend pragmatic solutions, and bring a team of engineers to consensus. You also love to pick up new technologies as the AI landscape evolves rapidly. You Have: Experience: 10+ years of experience in large-scale software deployments with a proven track record of leading large teams (15+) and delivering highly performant technical solutions. Experience building or leading teams that ship AI/ML-powered products in production. BS in Computer Science; MS/PhD are a definite plus. AI systems depth: Experience with agentic systems, LLM orchestration, evaluation frameworks, and the operational challenges of shipping AI features reliably at scale. Strategic vision: You can identify high-impact opportunities, shape them into a roadmap, and get buy-in from leadership and partner teams to make them happen. You think beyond the immediate ask to find the right long-term opportunities for growth. Building partnerships: You have a track record of working across organizational boundaries — aligning with partner teams on shared goals, navigating competing priorities, and driving joint execution on complex cross-team initiatives. Team-orientation: You have a personality that invigorates the team around you and you are used to leading and growing technical teams in any situation. You Will: Grow our organization by attracting and retaining the best talent in AI engineering and applied ML. Own the technical strategy for our agentic AI stack — balancing speed, reliability, and creator experience. Balance researching emerging AI capabilities with a practical approach to shipping them into the Roblox product. Lead other engineers by example, through technical direction, and by authoring specs for new features and architectural improvements. Put the Roblox creator community first and represent the company through thought leadership.
