About the role

Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators. At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there. A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone. • As a Safety Threat Investigator on the Safety Investigations team, you will primarily support Roblox’s Core Investigations capability: the operational backbone for repeatable, high-sensitivity matters that require speed, consistency, evidence discipline, and strong documentation. You will independently manage investigations from intake through resolution and produce clear, defensible work product that supports high-confidence safety decisions. You will also identify when a matter requires deeper attribution, network-centric analysis, cross-platform research, proactive threat hunting, or externally meaningful work product, and partner with or escalate to Specialized Investigations as appropriate. At the CL9 level, you will own a defined safety-risk domain or pod-level workstream, improve investigative processes and standards, serve as a subject-matter expert, and mentor other investigators with limited day-to-day oversight. Please note: This role may require reviewing graphic, controversial, and offensive content in accordance with Roblox’s handling policies. It may also require participation in an on-call rotation during weekends and holidays. You Will • Own repeatable, high-sensitivity investigations involving serious safety threats, including child exploitation, violent extremism, organized fraud, compromised accounts, coordinated abuse, and other high-risk matters. • Apply structured investigative methods, evidence checklists, common templates, and approved data pulls to produce timely and consistent case outcomes. • Gather, preserve, analyze, and corroborate evidence while maintaining accurate provenance, confidentiality, and auditability. • Define investigative questions, scope, hypotheses, evidence plans, milestones, risk controls, and exit criteria for sensitive or ambiguous matters. • Conduct focused account, entity, and timeline linkage as needed, and identify when a case requires deeper attribution, network mapping, or cross-platform investigation. • Escalate cases to Specialized Investigations when they develop meaningful attribution complexity, broader network risk, external actionability, or a need for deeper synthesis. • Prepare clear case summaries and standardized downstream work product for partners such as Legal, Safety Intelligence, Trust & Safety Operations, Law Enforcement Operations, or NCMEC, as appropriate. • Track recurring patterns, operational pain points, and escalation trends, and translate findings into recommendations for Policy, Product, Engineering, Detection, Legal, and Safety Operations. • Lead or contribute to durable improvements such as investigation playbooks, evidence standards, intake criteria, triage processes, tooling requirements, and quality-review mechanisms. • Represent Safety Investigations with cross-functional stakeholders, explain and defend investigative decisions, navigate disagreement, and maintain alignment on sensitive matters. • Mentor investigators, provide constructive feedback on casework,
