While the technologies are familiar, we have unique challenges at Roblox. We operate at a massive scale, supporting more than 70 million daily active users and growing rapidly.
Data and its management represent a substantial financial investment for roblox making decisions about how they work deeply impactful to our business.
And the metaverse is distributed; we operate across dozens of datacenter locations (across on-prem and cloud) adding a layer of complexity to every storage system.
This is an opportunity to build a truly unique cloud platform at scale!
You will :
- Set the vision and strategy for the database products that Roblox engineers use to build Roblox
- Build Database products for Roblox, combining the best commercial, open source, and bespoke technologies to serve the unique needs of the Metaverse
- Be the champion and evangelist for our unique approach to private cloud within and outside the company

- Experience building data platforms at scale, as a database vendor, a cloud provider, or at internal data platform teams in large SaaS organizations
- Experience managing large, technically complex engineering programs that may take years to execute
- Deep familiarity with modern database technologies, but with enough curiosity to wonder what's the next big invention that should be added to that list.
