About the role
Own the technical strategy, architecture, and roadmap for Roblox’s storage systems, including distributed databases, caches, queues, object storage, and encryption infrastructure
Ensure our storage platform scales by orders of magnitude while remaining reliable and efficient
Partner closely with Data Platform, Infrastructure, and product engineering teams to align storage capabilities with Roblox’s technical and business needs
Build, grow, and retain a world-class storage engineering team — and develop the next generation of technical leaders within it
Drive operational excellence: define and hold the bar on reliability, on-call practices, and incident response
Own your systems end-to-end, including participation in on-call rotation for critical incidents
Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward learning: you go deep on tech stacks that are new to you and bring others along
Strong operational instincts — you raise the bar on reliability and execution, not just vision
A track record of building reliable, high-availability systems at significant scale (millions of users, petabyte-scale data, or equivalent)
Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners and earn trust across engineering, product, and leadership
10+ years of experience in storage, infrastructure, or distributed systems roles, including hands-on experience building and operating custom database systems, with depth in at least several of: caching systems, object storage, message queues, or data streaming
5+ years in engineering leadership, managing teams through ambiguity to deliver critical, production-scale systems
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
