WHY SAFETY

At Roblox we strive to connect a billion people with optimism and civility and the Safety organizations mission is to become the leader in civil immersive online communities. We systematically detect remove and prevent problematic accounts content and behavior and we make Roblox accounts secure and free from compromise. We cover a broad area of the tech spectrum including machine learning classifiers for 3D models experimentation automation detection workflows and AI-powered text filters. Aligned and partnering with product teams we use this tool-belt to discover new opportunities influence and shape the product roadmap and prioritization build safety products and measure the impact on our community of users and doing so we keep Roblox safe civil and inclusive and we foster positive relationships between people around the world.

WHY Account Infrastructure

Authenticating and authorizing the Roblox user base sets the foundation for every other feature on our platform. Users must be confident that their accounts are not used without their permission; we must empower them with auth/security controls that meet each users needs and just-in-time friction that adapts to each users unique risk profile. On top of that we must offer these features in a way that will scale to 1 billion active users. As a member of the Account Infra Team you will have a rare opportunity to sit at the convergence of adversarial problem solving and high scalability engineering. You will report to the Engineering Manager of Auth Infra and Account Security.

You Will:

• Assume ownership of the complete lifecycle for full-stack features within Auth Infra and Account Security encompassing technical specification implementation rollout monitoring and iteration ensuring alignment with the designated pod roadmap.
• Engage in close collaboration with partner teams in Application Security Roblox Core Services and the broader Roblox Safety org.
• Define the architectural direction for scaling account authentication and security.
• Contribute to and maintain user authentication and security infra.
• Take complete responsibility for projects throughout their entire lifecycle.
• Drive cross-functional engagement and lead technical initiatives to ensure the widespread adoption and success of our core safety applications.
