Summary

We are seeking an experienced Roblox Developer or small development team to build a polished Roblox experience from concept through launch. The experience will be promoted to a large kids-and-families audience, with a strong focus on engagement, scalability, and player retention.

General information

This project is being developed for two major social media creators with a combined audience of 20M+ followers. The Roblox experience is expected to be heavily promoted across their social platforms, so the build needs to support a high-quality player experience and scale effectively as adoption grows.

The role covers end-to-end ownership across product planning, development, launch support, and post-launch iteration. This is initially a project-based engagement, with potential for ongoing development and support if the initial launch performs well.

Tasks and Deliverables

  • We are looking for a developer/team that can own the project A–Z, including:
  • Game concept and gameplay planning
  • Roblox Studio development
  • Map/world design
  • 3D assets and environments
  • Luau scripting
  • Core gameplay mechanics
  • Multiplayer systems
  • UI/UX
  • Player progression and rewards
  • Data saving
  • Monetization systems
  • Mobile, tablet, PC, and console optimization
  • Testing, debugging, and QA
  • Roblox publishing and launch support
  • Analytics and performance tracking
  • Post-launch updates and improvements

Required experience

  • Strong portfolio of published Roblox experiences
  • Deep experience with Roblox Studio and Luau
  • Experience building games designed for large player counts
  • Strong understanding of retention, progression, monetization, and Roblox game loops
  • Experience optimizing Roblox experiences across devices
  • Able to take ownership of both the technical development and overall product
  • Strong communication and project-management skills
  • Experience launching and maintaining successful Roblox games is highly preferred
