## Description

We're looking for an outstanding engineer to join the Roblox Datasets team. We develop and maintain highly leveraged core datasets, frameworks, and tooling that support the growing demand for analytics across the company. Our team sits within Foundation AI, and we partner closely with Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Data Science. We help these teams move faster by making core data more reliable, better modeled, easier to discover, and easier to use.

This team sits at an important intersection between platform and product. We partner broadly across major Roblox pillars, including Infra, Economy, Creator, Engine, Ads, Discovery, Growth, Compliance, Safety, Apps, and Social. That means you will have broad exposure to both technical and business problems.
You Will:

 * Build and improve the data pipelines, datasets, and internal tools that power decision-making across Roblox
 * Partner with engineers, data scientists, and product teams to turn messy, ambiguous data needs into reliable, reusable data assets
 * Help improve data quality, observability, reliability, and discoverability across the stack
 * Contribute to foundational work that supports multiple product pillars, not just a single surface area
 * Learn from experienced engineers while taking real ownership of projects early in your tenure
