i'm a rising senior and am going to make it my lifes mission to get a roblox new grad offer. They have everything i'm looking for. Not 100% sure what I want, but I know they have C++, game engines + physics, backend (infra), and some basic ML if I want to get hip with the kids. Those pretty much encompass my interests. Also just really love video games and how pivotal it was in my life growing up when things were really unstable. Also, my younger siblings freaking love roblox. How cool would it be to tell them i work there, and possibly even give them a tour of the facility. I know i sound like a simp but i'm gonna go for it. I interned @ a big tech previously, and even though I'm so washed up rn, I know i have it in me. I'm like lebron when i put my mind to something. ♫⋆。♪ ₊˚♬ ゚.

Perhaps this touching story will inspire a Roblox mate to give you an internal referral
I would if I was there, kid seems awesome
If you want to get placed in game engine/physics you’ll need projects to indicate your interest and competence in them. Backend is easy to teach a new grad but physics, graphics, and game engines in general are not.
Yeah, I've been self studying the physics and looking at graphics when I can. Mostly just building a strong base in math and physics. I don't think they grill new grads on graphics, but I'm still looking at it when i can
I've got about 9 months to study for the interview, which I think is a good amount of time given I use it wisely. - LC - Physics (mostly just mechanics) - Linear algebra - Systems (CPU arch + assembly, cache, OS) That'll be my prep. Intensive, but atleast I'm opening doors for gaming companies, faang+, and hft. Will update in 10 months lol
This is great to hear. Go for it, I wish you all the luck!
Having a life mission to work at one company is dumb. Having it be Roblox is even dumber. Go to a real company and learn things right. In my 20 years working, I have never dealt with a tech company as toxic and behind with the times as Roblox. Don't tailor your career to impress 9 year olds. The Google's, Metas, OpenAIs of the world open way more doors than Roblox. Work on something cutting edge, not a game platform that hasn't fundamentally changed since 2014. There's a reason why LeBron joined the Lakers. Don't join the Clippers of tech that is Roblox. Also Roblox isn't a video game company. It's a platform company. Even the recruiters will correct you if you say it is a video game company. If you like video games, work at a studio, not at a platform. Also, the "facility" is the most boring place around. It's an office. One part is a former bank. The other part is a former insurance software developer's HQ. It's got like a ping pong table and there's one building with a big TV. That's it.
This 100%. Roblox is not a good company
roblox or bust
