About the job

Build and operate backend systems that assess user behavior and deliver fair, auditable safety decisions and interventions across Roblox.

What you'll do

  • Build a low-latency behavioral data layer and centralized consequence engine combining rules and ML risk signals.
  • Develop a unified framework for safety interventions and abuse reporting, including LLM-based classification and agentic review workflows.
  • Own end-to-end delivery and operation of reliable, explainable serving infrastructure, from design through migration and production support.

What they ask for

  • 5+ years building and operating production backend systems at scale, ideally in Go or a comparable statically-typed backend language.
  • Strong distributed-systems experience, including service APIs (RPC/gRPC), high-throughput event ingestion, caching, and low-latency read paths.
  • Experience with rules engines, workflow/decision systems, or similarly stateful business-logic services.
  • Experience with streaming or batch data pipelines feeding a feature store or similar ingestion layer, and production operations fundamentals.

Nice to have

  • Trust & Safety, fraud, risk, or other adversarial-domain experience.
  • Feature stores or ML-serving infrastructure; backend-driven UI frameworks.
