Roblox Game Designer
About the Role
You will design and prototype core gameplay systems, from movement and progression loops to social features, weapons, and live events. You will own features end-to-end: concept, documentation, prototyping, testing, and live-ops iteration. You will balance gameplay and economy systems using player data and telemetry. You will collaborate with artists, engineers, and product leads to turn creative goals into clear, actionable design specs. You will deconstruct successful Roblox and sandbox titles to extract insights on retention, virality, and player motivation. You will design for scale and performance across devices and emerging markets, shape live-ops seasons and cultural events, and experiment with new Roblox APIs, UGC tools, and monetization systems.
