About Roblox

Roblox is a global platform where millions of people gather together every day to imagine, create, and share experiences with each other in immersive, user-generated 3D worlds. Backed by Greylock, a16z and Index.

About the role

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 a team of approximately 20 people organized across four functional areas and will be responsible for scaling Roblox's infrastructure footprint as it continues to grow rapidly.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in infrastructure, data center operations, or related fields, with at least 3 years in a director-level or senior leadership role
  • Deep expertise in capacity planning and supply-demand analysis for large-scale infrastructure environments
  • Hands-on familiarity with DCIM systems and data center automation — this role is lower in the stack than platform software (not Kubernetes/cloud-native)
  • Experience working across supply chain systems, hardware procurement, and deployment execution
  • Proven ability to lead and scale cross-functional teams including software engineers, planners, and operations specialists
  • Strong analytical and communication skills, comfortable translating complex infrastructure decisions for C-suite audiences
