Roblox is looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join the Harmony subsystem, where you will ensure a stable, enjoyable, and interactive experience for users across all devices. You will pioneer the application of machine learning to real-time, low-latency systems optimization, defining the ML strategy for resource management within the engine to solve complex allocation and scaling problems.
What You'll Do
- Analyze massive-scale engine performance and user engagement telemetry to drive the team's strategic roadmap and prioritize high-impact optimization targets.
- Design and implement machine learning models to predict and manage critical engine resource constraints in real time.
- Develop adaptive control systems that use ML outputs to dynamically adjust engine fidelity parameters, maximizing user experience while maintaining stability and low latency.
- Collaborate with core engine and performance engineering teams to integrate ML solutions directly into the critical path of gameplay across multiple platforms.
- Define the architectural roadmap for introducing and scaling ML infrastructure within the Harmony subsystem, ensuring reliable operation at massive scale.
What We're Looking For
- Expertise in one or more areas of applied machine learning: reinforcement learning (RL) for control systems, resource scheduling, predictive modeling (especially time-series analysis for resource usage), or real-time optimization.
- Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., C++, Python, Go, Java) and experience designing, building, and deploying ML models in a performance-critical environment.
- A strong understanding of low-latency, systems-level concepts (e.g., memory management, threading, operating system signals).
- A track record of solving complex optimization problems or experience integrating AI/ML into core engineering products.
Nice to Have
- Experience in gaming or mobile environments.
Technical Stack
