About the Role

Responsibilities

• Data and Signal Development: Analyze text, voice, assets, in-game economies, and social mechanics to isolate behavioral indicators of new or developing child safety risks. Collaborate with data science and engineering teams to translate intelligence findings into automated heuristics, keywords, and machine learning signals to catch bad actors at scale.
• Product Risk Advisory: Support the development of new platform features by identifying minor safety vulnerabilities before launch.
• Metrics and Reporting: Author comprehensive threat briefings and intelligence products for Safety leadership and cross-functional teams.
• Third-Party Partnerships: Represent Roblox externally with third-parties to include NGOs and industry partners, and support third-party intelligence gathering.
• Mentoring: Coach junior teammates on analytic tradecraft and intelligence work.

Requirements

• A bachelor's degree in criminology, data analytics, cybersecurity, international relations, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• Experience identifying sources for intelligence collection to identify risks in a gaming, social, or other media platform environment and building a collection plan.
• Proficiency in SQL or Python to query large datasets and isolate behavioral anomalies.
• Experience with OSINT tools and methodologies (e.g., Maltego, social media mapping, domain analysis).
• Native familiarity with modern gaming mechanics (in-game economies, modding communities, cross-play) and youth digital culture/slang.
• Proven ability to maintain personal well-being and operational rigor while occasionally reviewing highly sensitive, distressing, or taboo content.
