The work spans several distinct technical areas depending on employer. At Roblox, roles concentrate on the internals of a large real-time platform: a 3D engine scalability role involves mesh processing, level-of-detail systems, and GPU performance optimisation, while a desktop role owns the Windows and macOS client foundations end-to-end. On the frontend side, a frontend app foundations role focuses on React-based architecture for surfaces used by millions, and a sharing role works across client and backend to support content capture and discovery. Infrastructure appears too: a large-scale observability role handles billions of time series and petabytes of log data daily. At the more junior end, a virtual economy role requires one to three years of experience building REST API and microservices back-ends. Verkada and the AI-focused employers contribute additional postings, though detailed summaries for those are not included in this sample.
Skills counts reflect how often a term appears in posting descriptions across all postings on this page, not whether each skill is mandatory. C++ and API work appear most frequently, followed closely by agent-related concepts and Python. React, Kubernetes, and microservices each appear in roughly a fifth of postings. LLMs and Docker appear in a minority. Master's degree is mentioned in some postings but is not a universal stated requirement. The sample size is the full set of postings shown here.
The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels — not an average and not a market rate.
Almost all postings on this page list the role as fully onsite; a small minority state hybrid arrangements, and none are listed as remote. No postings carry an unknown work-mode designation, so the picture is unusually clear compared with many job searches. Candidates should expect that most of these employers are seeking daily or near-daily in-office presence in San Mateo. Whether hybrid postings allow specific days of flexibility is not stated in the available data.
