Drive performance and reliability testing for client-side memory, frame rate, network latency, and crash resilience.
Coordinate with Engineering to validate social features (chat moderation, parental controls, session handling, and identity workflows).
Analyze telemetry and crash data (Grafana, Splunk, DataDog, or Roblox internal dashboards) to detect regressions before users do.

You have:

5-7 years of experience in software engineering, quality assurance, or related fields.
Proven experience testing mobile and cross-platform consumer apps (iOS, Android, desktop, console).
Expertise in test automation - building and maintaining frameworks like Playwright, Appium, XCUITest, Espresso, or equivalent Lua/Python-based test harnesses.
Deep understanding of client/server testing, API validation, and complex end-to-end user workflows.
Strong skills in defect analysis, risk management, root-cause investigation, and integrating tests with CI/CD systems.
Experience with real-time, networked, or gaming apps and a strong passion for user experience and performance.
B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline is preferred

You are:

A player-first advocate with an unwavering focus on user safety and performance at scale.
A compelling communicator, able to present technical risks and quality statuses clearly to engineering, product, and data science stakeholders.
A proactive leader who can design testable features and anticipate risk areas before development begins.
