You will test projects in beta, diagnose technical and development issues, and work with engineering and internal teams when problems require deeper investigation. You will also create and improve technical documentation, examples, and best practices to help developers better understand Roblox Studio, scripting, game mechanics, and other development tools.

This role is ideal for an experienced Roblox developer who enjoys solving technical problems, sharing knowledge, and helping others improve their development skills.

- Provide technical guidance, documentation, examples, and best practices.
- Collaborate with engineering and other internal teams when issues require deeper investigation.
- Identify recurring questions or problems and help improve documentation, examples, and developer resources.
- Learn new technologies and develop increasing familiarity with the Roblox ecosystem.

You have:

- Roblox Studio: Advanced proficiency with Roblox Studio, including core building tools, asset management, and game structure.
- Troubleshooting: Ability to diagnose and resolve common Roblox Studio, building, and development issues.
- Scripting & Mechanics: Strong proficiency in Lua/Luau scripting and implementing advanced game mechanics.
- Specialized Skills: Expertise in areas such as 3D modeling, UI design, and other game development disciplines.
- Experience: Typically 4+ years of active development on Roblox or similar interactive 3D platforms.
- Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to break down complex technical concepts and ideas into simple, clear, and easy-to-understand explanations.
- Reporting: able to clearly communicate progress, challenges, findings, and recommendations in a concise and easy-to-follow manner.
