Job Summary
Who We Are:
Roblox is reimagining the way people come together to connect create and express themselves. To support our massive scale we are powered by thousands of microservices. The Application Networking team connects and secures these services building ingress gateways managing the service mesh and enabling seamless communication across Robloxs hybrid on-prem and cloud infrastructure.
We are executing on Cloud Bursting a strategic initiative to enable Robloxs core services to transparently burst from on-prem data centers to the cloud allowing us to handle historical peak concurrent players and survive regional failures. You will join our Service Mesh team to build the networking fabric that makes this possible.
You will:
- Design and build the service mesh infrastructure that enables communication across Robloxs hybrid Kubernetes and Nomad environments supporting billions of daily requests.
- Drive the integration of service mesh with Kubernetes ensuring reliable sidecar injection mTLS traffic policies and observability for production workloads.
- Build the networking foundation for Cloud Bursting enabling Robloxs top services to transparently burst from on-prem data centers to the cloud with service discovery traffic management and locality-aware routing across environments.
- Partner with internal application teams to understand their connectivity pain points ensuring the service mesh provides a frictionless paved road for thousands of developers
- Collaborate with the Gateway and CNI teams to deliver a unified multi-cluster service fabric that abstracts cluster and regional boundaries from application developers.
- Serve as a primary escalation point for complex service mesh issues troubleshooting across Envoy sidecars Istio control plane and the underlying network stack.
- Act as a senior voice on the team mentoring junior engineers and promoting best practices in testing deployment and reliability engineering.
You Are:
- A professional with 3 years of experience in distributed systems with strong expertise in service mesh technologies (Istio Envoy Consul or Linkerd). You understand the tradeoffs of sidecar-based architectures at scale.
- Deeply knowledgeable of service mesh concepts: traffic management service discovery mTLS observability and routing policies.
- Experienced running Kubernetes in production and familiar with the K8s networking model.
- Comfortable working with Envoy proxy internals xDS APIs and control plane architectures.
- Excellent at designing large-scale distributed systems that span multiple clusters regions and runtime environments.
- Fluent in Go C/C or Rust.
- Experienced with on-call rotations and approach infrastructure with a reliability-first mindset.
