Principal Reliability Operations Engineer

Roblox operates a global platform for 3D immersive digital experiences, supporting millions of users who create and interact in shared virtual spaces. As a Principal Reliability Operations Engineer, you will play a critical role in maintaining the uptime and stability of this complex, large-scale distributed environment. Your daily responsibilities will center on leading and managing production incidents, driving them to resolution, and conducting post-mortem analyses to prevent future recurrence. You will work cross-functionally to troubleshoot sophisticated technical challenges, monitor system health, and contribute to architectural improvements that enhance overall platform performance. A significant portion of the role involves automating routine operational tasks using languages like Python or Golang and participating in an on-call rotation. This position is well-suited for a seasoned engineer with over eight years of experience in site reliability who excels at communicating complex technical issues to diverse stakeholders. You should be comfortable operating in high-pressure, ambiguous situations and possess a strong background in network infrastructure and distributed systems. Mentoring junior team members and proactively identifying potential system bottlenecks will also be key components of your work in this onsite role based in San Mateo.
