About this role
Roblox's Notifications team owns the systems that reach tens of millions of users across push, in-app, email, and toast channels. In this role, you'd own the full lifecycle of notification delivery: building and scaling the routing pipeline, designing recommendation features (expansion, ranking, filtering), running A/B experiments to measure impact on engagement and retention, and maintaining the APIs and operational infrastructure that support this at scale. You'd work cross-functionally with product, design, data science, and ML teams, and your work would be directly measurable through data.
This is a backend-focused role suited to someone with one to three years of industry experience building services or full-stack systems, ideally with exposure to distributed systems or data pipelines. You should be comfortable with data-driven decision-making and able to ship features independently while contributing to system reliability and observability. The position is based in San Mateo and requires in-office presence Tuesday through Thursday, with equity and full benefits included. Salary ranges from $153,120 to $196,750 depending on background and experience.
