Responsibilities
- Mentor and grow the engineers around you, across levels, remove roadblocks for teammates, and help build an environment where people do their best work.
- Help shape frontend engineering practices across the Communication team: how we build, review, and ship, beyond just your immediate pod.
- Act as technical lead on cross-functional initiatives, partnering with product, design, and both frontend and backend engineers.
- Take end-to-end ownership — drive projects from technical plan and architecture through launch, iteration, and measurable impact.
- Stay hands-on in the codebase. Our senior engineers actively build the platform and review code.
- Design systems that empower Roblox creators to unlock entirely new forms of voice communication for their users.
Requirements
- 5+ years of frontend or client engineering, building complex, user-facing UIs in close partnership with Product and Design
- Depth in at least one major client platform like React/Redux or React Native, or native iOS, Android, or desktop (Windows/macOS). You don't need all of them.
- Strong system design: you can write clear technical design docs that align stakeholders and hold up in architectural review
- A track record of mentoring engineers and helping them grow into stronger, more independent contributors
- Nice to have: Real-time communications expertise in technologies like WebRTC or equivalent. Experience leading communication initiatives at scale (e.g., WhatsApp, Google Meet, FaceTime, Discord).
- Passion for client performance: you enjoy profiling and optimizing things like memory, rendering, and latency.
- Leveraged AI for high-velocity execution. You have used AI-assisted development tools to accelerate prototyping, iterate quickly, and drive concepts to production.
Conditions
- Annual Salary Range: $243,290 — $295,250 USD
