Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators.
At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there.
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.
As a Senior Security Software Engineer for Infrastructure Security you will be a part of the Information Security organization and report to the Senior Manager of Infrastructure Security. You will help shape the future of Platform Security at Roblox. We work closely with Production IAM, Network Security, and Cloud Security at Roblox.
You Will:
- Identify security gaps and threats in our cloud and on premise infrastructure, partnering with Governance Risk and Compliance teams to create standards and policies along the way. This will help Roblox meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
- Harden our infrastructure by introducing secure by default configurations, designs and guardrails for all developers at Roblox.
- Own and drive solutions that enable Roblox engineers to design, build, and use infrastructure securely at scale.
- Work closely with other InfoSec teams (AppSec, D&R, GRC, CorpSec, CloudSec, NetSec) and partner with engineering teams across Roblox, specifically the Infrastructure organization, to ensure the secure outcomes of security and product driven initiatives.
You Have:
- 5+ years of experience writing code and/or relevant technical experience.
- Experience with automation, IaC, system hardening, container security concepts, cloud security policy and observability.
- Deep knowledge of Linux systems, Kubernetes (EKS/GKE/AKS/RKS), and on premise and cloud based risk and supporting security infrastructure.
- Familiarity with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Data Encryption (at-rest and in-transit), platform security best practices, Secrets Management, and orchestration at scale with systems such as Chef, Nomad, and ECS.
- Understanding of network security, application security concepts, and information security industry best practices.
You Are:
- Collaborative: You love working with your direct team and cross-functional partners.
- Thoughtful of build vs. buy decisions: You can build solutions, but you also review what tools are available and are comfortable working with Third Party vendors.
- Comfortable with ambiguity: You can gather data and make informed decisions when there is no clear answer.
