Job Summary
As a Senior QA Engineer you will be the first dedicated QA hire for the Safety Engineering Group which is responsible for building the infrastructure and policies that make Roblox the safest online community in the world. You will report to the QA Engineering Manager for Universal Apps and collaborate across the Safety organization to own end-to-end test strategies for high-stakes 24/7 incident response systems and parent-facing safety features. This role is a unique opportunity to shape the quality culture of a company-level mandate from the ground up.
You will:
- Partner with Engineering and Product to define and maintain comprehensive risk-based test coverage for Safety features and systems.
- Own the end-to-end test strategy for Safety initiatives including functional regression integration and edge-case validation.
- Leverage and expand internal automation frameworks to automate critical user flows and drive API-first validation strategies.
- Identify high-impact automation opportunities and incorporate industry best practices to design robust abuse-resistant test scenarios.
- Develop track and report on quality metrics (e.g. defect trends coverage gaps) to proactively surface release risks to stakeholders.
- Apply AI/LLM-driven solutions to reduce manual QA toil and improve test maintenance efficiency.
You have:
- 4 years of QA experience in highly technical or backend-driven environments including a strong understanding of test design techniques and risk-based testing.
- Strong technical proficiency in API testing (REST JSON Postman) and the ability to read and understand code.
- Hands-on experience with automation frameworks (UI and/or API) and a deep understanding of automation architecture and maintainability.
- A Bachelors degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science Computer Engineering or a similar technical field.
- Strong root cause analysis capabilities with the ability to analyze logs and system behavior to debug complex issues.
- Excellent cross-functional communication skills with a proven ability to articulate risk and quality trade-offs to stakeholders.
You are:
- Adversarial in your thinking: You naturally think like a bad actor to identify abuse-cases bypass attempts and edge cases in safety systems.
- A strategic operator: You prioritize testing based on risk and impact rather than trying to test everything.
- An independent leader: You are comfortable being the first QA in an organization and have a vision for building a quality culture from scratch.
- Data-driven: You use metrics and dashboards to influence engineering decisions and improve overall product health.
