Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators.

At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there.

A career at Roblox means you’ll 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.

Roblox's infrastructure supports over 100M DAUs and recently supported a world record 45M players at the same time. The scale is real.

As Director of Engineering, you will own the technical strategy, design, delivery, and operation of Roblox's storage systems. The challenge is scale, efficiency, reliability, and innovation all at once. We are mostly on-prem but also in the cloud — yes, we're actually building a lot of this ourselves, and yes, we know how hard that is. We've got the scale and the talent to do it.

You've spent your career deep in storage: databases, caches, queues, object storage. You understand that reliability is the most important feature of any system. You care deeply about the success of the internal and external customers who depend on these systems. You're excited to shepherd a fast-growing platform from the nearly 1 exabyte we have today to a multi-exabyte deployment that will power some of the most interesting AI workloads in the industry.

You will

• Own the technical strategy, architecture, and roadmap for Roblox's storage systems, including distributed databases, caches, queues, object storage, and encryption infrastructure
• Ensure our storage platform scales by orders of magnitude while remaining reliable and efficient
• Partner closely with Data Platform, Infrastructure, and product engineering teams to align storage capabilities with Roblox's technical and business needs
• Build, grow, and retain a world-class storage engineering team — and develop the next generation of technical leaders within it
• Drive operational excellence: define and hold the bar on reliability, on-call practices, and incident response
• Own your systems end-to-end, including participation in on-call rotation for critical incidents

You have

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
• 10+ years of experience in storage, infrastructure, or distributed systems roles, including hands-on experience building and operating custom database systems - not just deploying off-the-shelf solutions - plus depth in at least several of: caching systems, object storage, message queues, or data streaming
• 5+ years in engineering leadership, managing teams through ambiguity to deliver critical, production-scale systems
• A track record of building reliable, high-availability systems at significant scale (millions of users, petabyte-scale data, or equivalent)
• Strong operational instincts — you raise the bar on reliability and execution, not just vision
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners and earn trust across engineering, product, and leadership
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward learning: you go deep on tech stacks that are new to you and bring others along

Why this role is on the menu

Marketing & Communications shapes how Instacart shows up in the world. As the organization evolves and its leadership operates at increasing levels of complexity, people decisions need a dedicated strategic partner who can keep up. You'll work directly with Marketing & Communications leaders at the Sr Director and VP levels, bringing the connective tissue between business strategy and talent: proactive org design, leadership coaching that actually sticks, and people practices that hold up as the function scales.

What you’ll cook up in your first year

• Senior Marketing & Communications leaders — at the Sr. Director and VP level — have a trusted strategic advisor shaping how they build, develop, and retain their teams, so people decisions are made with confidence and are visibly tied to business outcomes.
• Organizational health across Marketing & Communications is measurable and improving: talent trends are surfaced early, retention risks are flagged before they become attrition, and the team is structured to scale sustainably.
• A cohesive talent strategy is in place for Marketing & Communications — covering attraction, engagement, and development of diverse, high-caliber talent — that positions the org to compete in a tight market.
• Change doesn’t catch the team flat-footed: leaders and employees move through transitions with clarity, supported by communication strategies and change management plans that you own end-to-end.
• People Team Centers of Excellence are better calibrated to the needs of Marketing & Communications because you’ve brought business context into their planning — pushing back where needed and ensuring programs land with impact, not just intent.
