  • Set technical strategy and oversee development of high scale and reliable infrastructure systems.
  • Propose and implement new platform tooling to improve time to production for MLEs and Data Scientists across the full ML lifecycle.
  • Work on infrastructure projects such as GPU fleet management, hybrid-cloud orchestration, and writing custom Kubernetes controllers and resources.
  • Stay abreast of industry trends in machine learning and infrastructure to ensure the adoption of leading-edge technologies and practices.
  • Partner across organizations to build tooling, interfaces, and visualizations that make the ML@Roblox a delight to use.
Desired Qualifications
  • Proficient in DevOps tooling such as Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD systems, and bootstrapping cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, etc.)
  • Experienced with the end-to-end ML model lifecycle such as model serving, training, model CI/CD, and GPU resources management, and have built ML platform features that are delightful to use.
  • An automation advocate: you're passionate about infrastructure-as-code and automating painful manual processes.
  • A reliability nut: you love digging into tricky postmortems and identifying weaknesses in complicated systems.
  • Passionate about supporting internal partners (data scientists and ML Engineers) to meet and understand their needs.

Roblox operates a virtual platform where users can learn, work, play, and socialize. The platform is built around a community of developers and creators who use Roblox Studio, a user-friendly design tool, to create engaging multiplayer experiences. It primarily targets audiences under the age of 18, making it one of the leading entertainment platforms for this age group, as shown by its high monthly visits and user engagement. Unlike many other platforms, Roblox focuses on user-generated content, allowing millions of new users to join each month through recommendations from friends. The company generates revenue through in-platform purchases and subscriptions, creating a thriving ecosystem for both users and creators.
