Principal Software Engineer - Account Identity

Why Account Identity?

Safety and Civility is Roblox's #1 priority, and our mission is to protect our community. The Account Identity team builds systems that collect real-world identity signals to increase platform trust for internal developers, creators, and users. By understanding who the person is behind their Roblox account, we can make their experiences more valuable. Our Access Management Platform enables teams to open up features to trusted users and for the users, give them simple, transparent, relevant ways to become trusted.

As a Principal Engineer on the Identity team, you will lead the design and implementation of all our user-facing signal collection flows. Our impact comes through collaboration across organizational and functional boundaries.
