Senior QA Engineer, Safety

Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators. At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there. A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone. As a Senior QA Engineer, you will be the first dedicated QA hire for the Safety Engineering Group, which is responsible for building the infrastructure and policies that make Roblox the safest online community in the world. You will report to the QA Engineering Manager for Universal Apps and collaborate across the Safety organization to own end-to-end test strategies for high-stakes, 24/7 incident response systems and parent-facing safety features. This role is a unique opportunity to shape the quality culture of a company-level mandate from the ground up. You will: Partner with Engineering and Product to define and maintain comprehensive, risk-based test coverage for Safety features and systems. Own the end-to-end test strategy for Safety initiatives, including functional, regression, integration, and edge-case validation. Leverage and expand internal automation frameworks to automate critical user flows and drive API-first validation strategies. Identify high-impact automation opportunities and incorporate industry best practices to design robust, abuse-resistant test scenarios. Develop, track, and report on quality metrics (e.g., defect trends, coverage gaps) to proactively surface release risks to stakeholders. Apply AI/LLM-driven solutions to reduce manual QA toil and improve test maintenance efficiency. You have: 4+ years of QA experience in highly technical or backend-driven environments, including a strong understanding of test design techniques and risk-based testing. Strong technical proficiency in API testing (REST, JSON, Postman) and the ability to read and understand code. Hands-on experience with automation frameworks (UI and/or API) and a deep understanding of automation architecture and maintainability. A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a similar technical field. Strong root cause analysis capabilities with the ability to analyze logs and system behavior to debug complex issues. Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with a proven ability to articulate risk and quality trade-offs to stakeholders. You are: Adversarial in your thinking: You naturally think like a "bad actor" to identify abuse-cases, bypass attempts, and edge cases in safety systems. A strategic operator: You prioritize testing based on risk and impact rather than trying to "test everything". An independent leader: You are comfortable being the first QA in an organization and have a vision for building a quality culture from scratch. Data-driven: You use metrics and dashboards to influence engineering decisions and improve overall product health.
