About The Position

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.

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.
You will lead product engineering pods within the User Safety organization, driving the technical vision and execution for the systems that keep Roblox a safe and civil space for millions. You will own the end-to-end safety lifecycle: from building high-frictionless tools for reporting abuse and onboarding internal features to safety protocols, to engineering the engines behind consequences, user reform, and appeals. As the primary bridge between our users and Roblox’s safety ecosystem, you will navigate the delicate balance between robust enforcement and user education. This role requires a leader who can manage complex cross-functional dependencies across Product, Trust & Safety Policy, Data Science, and Legal to deliver high-integrity social experiences at an unprecedented scale.
