Roblox Operating System (ROS) is our internal productivity platform that governs how Roblox operates as a company. Through an integrated suite of tools, ROS shapes how we make talent and personnel decisions, plan and organize work, discover knowledge, and scale efficiently.
The ROS application brings together data from diverse sources – HR systems (Workday, Greenhouse), collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Calendar), developer platforms (GitHub), business applications (Pigment, Zendesk), and internal Roblox applications. Our goal is to unify these signals and provide employees and leaders with actionable insights that drive smarter, data-informed decisions.
The ROS Engineering team is foundational to this vision. We build and maintain the data products and backend services that power the ROS ecosystem, ensuring insights are collected, transformed, and surfaced in meaningful ways. Our scope includes:
- Synchronizing and integrating data across vital internal systems (Workday, Greenhouse, GSuite, JIRA, and ROS app databases).
- Building backend services and APIs that expose insights to applications and dashboards.
- Designing intuitive frontend features that make data accessible and engaging.
- Partnering with product managers and UX designers to deliver a unified employee experience.
