A career at Roblox means youll 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.

About the role:

Roblox Studio is the creation engine behind millions of immersive 3D games built by creators around the world. We are entering a major platform transition evolving Studio into an AI-Native IDE where intelligent systems plan act validate and iterate alongside creators to amplify their output. We are seeking a Technical Director Applied AI to own the technical direction of the agentic AI systems embedded deeply into Roblox Studio. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role operating at the intersection of platform engineering AI systems and developer experience where you will set the technical direction design the architecture and write the code.

You will:

• Design and build the agentic AI systems at the core of the AI-Native IDE (planning execution validation evaluation) so they are production-grade and reliable.
• Decide how Studio uses coding models agents retrieval tool calling and context management across the Assistant and the broader creator workflow.
