Software Engineer, Account Security

About the role

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. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there.

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.

As a Software Engineer on Account Security, you will help protect Roblox users, creators, and the broader community from bad actors. We are an outcome oriented team that has the tremendous latitude to make changes across the Roblox technical stack to secure accounts. Past examples of work include work to model post-login suspicion, cryptographically bind user credentials to devices, malware detection, and work to detect and prevent asset laundering that typically is used to monetize ATOs.

You'll join Roblox's Safety organization, whose mission is to become the leader in civil immersive online communities by detecting, removing, and preventing problematic accounts, content, and behavior, and by keeping accounts secure and free from compromise. The team draws on a broad tech spectrum, including machine learning, classifiers, experimentation, automation, and AI-powered filters, partnering with product teams to shape the roadmap, build safety products, and measure impact on our community of users and developers.

You Will:

- Own the design, implementation and landing of features to prevent, detect and mitigate account takeovers.

- Collaborate cross-organizationally with partner teams in InfoSec, Economy, User, and the broader Roblox Safety org.

- Help define how goals get accomplished and have real influence over product direction.

- Instrument and analyze user interaction data (A/B tests, usage metrics) to inform design decisions and maximize product impact.

- Own implementation end to end across the stack, contributing in GoLang, Python, Typescript and Lua as projects require, using AI tools wherever possible.

You Have:

- 3+ years of experience in Software Engineering/Computer Science

- Experience working on user facing applications or services

- Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as GoLang, Python, C#, and Javascript.

- Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Product stakeholders to define requirements and deliver technical solutions.

- A strong commitment to designing, implementing, and maintaining systems that prioritize user safety, data integrity, and compliance with safety policies.
