About this job

As a Senior Backend Engineer on the User Communities team, you’ll own the backend systems that power social engagement features, such as Announcements, Forums, Polls, Bug Reporting, and more, for millions of players, as well as the control plane, permissions layer, and tools for Creators to build, grow, and moderate thriving communities on Roblox. Your day-to-day will focus on building and scaling the systems that bring players and Creators together, both inside and outside the experience. On the player side, that means creating places where people can find and connect with other members of the community, such as having conversations about the experience, discovering the latest updates, and sharing their feedback.

This is a short summary.
