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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Geometry group in Engine & Digital Matter enables real-time solid content creation and adaptive solid-matter streaming so everything on Roblox feels like it’s made of the same “stuff”. In this role, you will lead the Geometry Scalability pod, owning the engine technologies that let creators build larger, denser, and more detailed worlds and avatars that run well on any device. Reporting directly to Sr. Director, Engineering, you will be the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for SLIM (Scalable Lightweight Interactive Models) and related geometry scalability capabilities as they expand from static environments to avatars and articulated models.
YOU WILL
- Own the vision and roadmap: Define the future of geometry scalability across SLIM, GeoGen/FastCluster, and mesh Level of Detail (LoD) over a 1–3 year horizon.
- Drive technical innovation: Lead the development of new algorithms and architectures in areas like mesh simplification (WMS/CMS), vertex clustering, and scalable skinning/transcoding pipelines.
- Execute end-to-end delivery: Manage the design, implementation, testing infrastructure, and long-term maintenance of SLIM and related systems.
- Drive cross-group collaboration: Establish strong partnerships with sibling pods and drive delivery across Geometry, Rendering, Avatar, and Content Platform teams to ensure dependencies are unblocked early.
- Lead and grow a high-performing team: Manage, coach, recruit, and retain top-tier geometry, graphics, and systems talent, building succession depth and empowering senior ICs.
- Represent your team: Act as the voice for Geometry Scalability in company forums, roadmap reviews, and community-facing partnerships to ensure features are aligned with creator needs.
YOU HAVE
- A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a similar technical field.
- 4+ years of engineering management experience (EM1/EM2 scope), including leading senior/staff C++ engineers on complex, cross-team engine or platform projects.
- A proven track record of shipping large-scale C++ engine or real-time 3D systems, and experience owning a multi-year technical roadmap.
- A strong background in 3D computational geometry and numerical methods, including mesh processing, LoD generation, and linear algebra.
- Deep expertise in modern C++ and low-level performance optimization on CPU/GPU.
- Preferred: Familiarity with skinning, animation, and avatar systems, or prior contributions to graphics/geometry research (e.g., SIGGRAPH) and productionization.
YOU ARE
- Deeply technical: You love 3D geometry and C++ engines, and you thrive on shipping complex cross-team systems.
- A culture builder: You demonstrate the ability to build a healthy team culture based on clear expectations, psychological safety, and direct feedback.
- An effective leader: You set a high technical bar, uplevel engineers, and create an environment that balances rapid iteration with a high bar for correctness and performance.
- An exceptional communicator: You are comfortable representing your team’s work to senior leadership and can easily translate between deep technical details and business/customer impact.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Engineering Jobs at Roblox Jobs
Align your portfolio with Roblox's scale challenges
Roblox hiring managers prioritize engineers who've worked on distributed systems, real-time infrastructure, or platform tooling at scale. Frame your experience around throughput, latency, or reliability problems rather than feature delivery alone.
Target teams with active open roles in your discipline
Roblox's engineering org spans infrastructure, client, data, and security. Applying to a specific team with demonstrated backlog of open roles signals you've done your research and gives your application more context than a general engineering submission.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Roblox engineering openings by visa type
Not every Roblox job listing specifies sponsorship eligibility. Migrate Mate surfaces engineering roles at Roblox filtered by the visa types they support, so you can focus your applications on positions that match your current status.
Front-load credential documentation for specialty occupation proof
H-1B petitions for software engineering roles require USCIS to confirm the position qualifies as a specialty occupation. Have your degree equivalency documents, transcripts, and any credential evaluations ready before your employer begins the I-129 filing process.
Understand where PERM fits your long-term plan
If Roblox extends an EB-2 or EB-3 offer, your employer initiates PERM labor certification through DOL before filing the immigrant petition. That process has its own audit risk and timeline, so ask your employer's immigration counsel about the projected sequence.

Find Engineering at Roblox JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Roblox sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Yes, Roblox sponsors H-1B visas for engineering roles. The company participates in the annual H-1B cap lottery for new applicants and also files H-1B transfers for candidates already holding H-1B status with another employer. If you're currently on a different visa type, Roblox's immigration team will assess your eligibility during the offer stage.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at Roblox?
Applications go through Roblox's careers page, where engineering roles are listed by team and discipline. You can also find and filter Roblox engineering positions by visa type on Migrate Mate, which makes it easier to identify roles that align with your current immigration status before investing time in the application process.
Which visa types does Roblox commonly sponsor for Engineering roles?
Roblox sponsors a range of visa types for engineering hires, including H-1B, H-1B1 for Chilean and Singaporean nationals, E-3 for Australian citizens, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals, and F-1 OPT including the STEM extension. For engineers on a longer-term path, Roblox also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship.
What qualifications does Roblox expect for sponsored Engineering positions?
Most engineering roles at Roblox require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field, which also supports the specialty occupation standard required for H-1B and E-3 petitions. Beyond credentials, Roblox looks for depth in systems design, proficiency in relevant languages like C++ or Lua, and experience working on products at significant scale.
What should I expect from the visa sponsorship timeline at Roblox?
Timeline depends on your visa category. H-1B filings are tied to the April lottery and October 1 start date, so offers made mid-year may require a wait. E-3 and TN processing can move faster since they don't require lottery selection. For Green Card pathways, PERM labor certification through DOL typically takes several months before the immigrant petition can be filed with USCIS.
