As a Principal Software Engineer on the Roblox Programmability team, you will work with us on software ecosystem development of the embedded scripting languages in the Roblox engine while reporting to the Engineering Director. Our Programmability team is at the heart of developing the software ecosystem for embedded scripting languages within the Roblox engine. To enable developers on the Roblox platform to create tomorrow's top games, they require more than a functional scripting environment—they need sophisticated programming interfaces, a robust set of script libraries, comprehensive development tools, and an ultra-fast, multithreaded runtime. Join our team to guide the evolution of a new suite of programming interfaces and advanced tooling features that millions of developers will use daily. As a member of our Game Engine Programmability team, you will play a pivotal role in this process.
