Build Roblox's privacy infrastructure — data governance, user rights fulfillment, and regulatory compliance at platform scale

Roblox is hiring a Senior Privacy Software Engineer for its Privacy Infrastructure team to design backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that embed privacy-by-design controls (data discovery, retention, auditing, user rights fulfillment) into engineering workflows for a rapidly growing product ecosystem. This interview centers on distributed systems and data platform design at the intersection of privacy, security, and regulatory frameworks like GDPR and CCPA.
