Senior Software Engineer (Developer Tools)
Posted Updated
Description
- The App Test team builds the test automation platform that enables Roblox engineers to deliver reliable, high-quality experiences across the Roblox Universal App
- Our systems span test frameworks, execution and orchestration, device-farm infrastructure, debugging tools, dashboards, and the supporting infra that power end-to-end testing across mobile, desktop, console, and VR
- As a Senior Software Engineer on the App Test team, you will design, build, and scale tools and services that power the test automation lifecycle
- You will work on foundational systems that enable engineers to author, select, execute, debug, maintain, and triage tests efficiently, while helping evolve our platform toward an AI-native testing experience
- You will have the opportunity to solve complex engineering problems across distributed systems, cross-platform automation, developer tooling, and AI orchestration
- Your work will help teams identify regressions earlier, improve release confidence, and deliver software faster without compromising quality
- Build and scale test automation infrastructure: Design, implement, and evolve the frameworks, runners, orchestration services, device-farm integrations, and supporting infrastructure that power reliable end-to-end testing across Roblox’s supported platforms
- Advance the AI-native test lifecycle: Develop intelligent tooling that improves test authoring, selection, execution, maintenance, and failure triage, using AI to reduce manual effort and make testing more accessible and effective
- Develop test orchestration and intelligence: Build systems that connect test planning, test selection, execution, and failure analysis, enabling more efficient use of test infrastructure and faster feedback to engineers
- Improve test reliability and debugging: Build tools and services that improve test stability, observability, failure diagnosis, and maintenance across a large and evolving test ecosystem
- Shift quality earlier in the development lifecycle: Integrate automated quality checks and actionable test feedback into development and CI/CD workflows to help teams identify and resolve issues earlier
- Drive projects end to end: Take ownership of technical initiatives from problem definition, design, and implementation through production deployment, adoption, measurement, and continuous improvement
- Collaborate across engineering: Partner with application, platform, QA, infrastructure, and developer productivity teams to develop scalable solutions that address the needs of engineers across Roblox
- Automation and infrastructure experience: Experience building test automation frameworks, developer tools, distributed systems, CI/CD infrastructure, or other engineering platforms
- Cross-platform engineering: Experience developing or supporting systems across multiple platforms or environments, such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS
- Systems and architecture: Experience designing and evolving services or frameworks, with an understanding of scalability, reliability, observability, and operational excellence
- Software engineering experience: Experience designing, building, testing, and operating production software, with a track record of solving complex engineering problems in large codebases
- Ownership and collaboration: Ability to take ownership of projects, work effectively across teams, communicate technical decisions clearly, and deliver solutions that improve the experience of engineers who use your tools
- Programming fundamentals: Strong programming skills in C++, Python, Go, or another modern programming language, with an emphasis on writing maintainable, reliable, and well-tested code
- Experience with cross-platform test automation frameworks such as Appium, Selenium, or comparable tools, including mobile, desktop, or game testing
- Experience building CI/CD, release engineering, developer productivity, or internal platform systems
- Experience applying LLMs, agents, or other AI techniques to developer tools, including test authoring, intelligent test selection, test maintenance, failure analysis, or automated debugging
- Experience working with large-scale software development workflows and integrating automated quality checks into the development lifecycle
