Roblox Senior Engineering Manager interview: leading the platform beneath every Trust & Safety workflow, including an AI-driven agentic safety layer

This interview targets Roblox's Senior Engineering Manager role owning the core Safety Platform — shared infra, APIs, internal operator tooling, and an emerging AI-powered agentic layer that automates detection, enforcement, and review. Expect questions on hiring and growing engineering pods, setting technical quality bars, and partnering across User Safety, Policy, Data Science, and ML. Strong answers demonstrate platform-thinking at scale plus the judgment to balance long-term architecture bets against urgent trust-and-safety needs.
