The role
With Roblox’s daily active users growing at a record pace, we are seeking experienced machine learning researchers who thrive on solving complex challenges and designing scalable, ground breaking solutions. In this role, you will innovate on LLMs, VLMs, autoregressive models, or other large models for user understanding, content understanding, recommendation, and agentic search. Your work will lay the foundation for personalizing user experiences, enhancing engagement and retention, and driving growth within the creator ecosystem.
In search and discovery, you will contribute to the core systems that enable users to discover and interact with experiences across Roblox. On Search, that work spans the end-to-end user search journey, covering query suggestions, autocomplete, and retrieval and ranking. These systems drive exploration and engagement across all surfaces, helping users find relevant and exciting content. Looking ahead, our team aims to innovate further by developing auto-generated summaries, images, and videos from experience content to improve discoverability and inspire user exploration.
