Sergei Petrov liked thisSergei Petrov liked thisTwice as much time is spent on phones playing Roblox as watching Netflix. For those who don’t have kids, Roblox is the YouTube of games. Rather than developing games itself, Roblox provides the platform for millions of developers to build games for a global audience of more than 100 million daily users. Developers, many still teenagers, have built big businesses on Roblox. They collectively earned US$1.7 billion on the platform over the last twelve months and the top 1,000 averaged US$1.4 million each. Earlier this month we attended the Roblox Developer Conference in San Francisco with developers from around the world and Roblox’s senior management team. AI-supported game creation is central to Roblox’s future plans. Smartphones turned billions of people into video creators on YouTube and TikTok. AI is now doing the same for games. Developers used to write code to build games. Now anyone can ask an AI coding tool to bring their idea to life using only natural language. On the recent Roblox earnings call, Founder and CEO David Baszucki said: “10 years ago… most of us didn't know how to edit video, and now… many [young people] know how to edit video on their phone. The same thing I think is going to happen in gaming.” We tested the theory and built a small game over the weekend using Codex and Roblox Studio (link in comments). Today, Roblox captures 3% of the global games market. AI-supported creation could be a big unlock to achieve their goal of 10%.

I am incredibly thrilled to announce that I will be returning to Roblox as a full-time Data Scientist after finishing my Ph.D. next spring! 🥳 My internship on the Infrastructure team this summer was everything I could have hoped for, and I am so grateful that I get to continue tackling the problems I love alongside such an amazing team. A massive thank you especially to my manager Hongwei Liao and my recruiter Jenna Duque for supporting me every step of the way and making this happen. And to everyone else who has rooted for me, you know who you are! Now it’s time to switch to research mode, finish my dissertation, and enjoy the final chapter at Cornell University. See you in 2027, California!

Sergei Petrov liked thisRoblox isn't a gaming platform anymore. It's a $1.7 billion creator economy — and it's wide open. 🚀 Here's what excites me most: this canvas is still blank for India's builder and developer community. We have the technical talent. We have the creative instinct. What we haven't fully unlocked yet is the belief that the next global phenomenon on Roblox could be built right here, from India. Think about that for a second. A developer in Bengaluru, a designer in Pune, a 19-year-old with an idea in a small town — any one of them could build the next experience that millions of people around the world log in to every single day. This isn't a someday story. Creators everywhere are already turning passion projects into real careers, real businesses, real income — today. The tools exist. The global audience exists. The only thing missing is you deciding to build. Curious how this is already playing out? Worth a watch: From gaming to careers: How Roblox creators are cashing in on a $1.7 billion economy So I'll ask directly — if you could build one experience and put it in front of the world tomorrow, what would it be?

Sergei Petrov liked thisSergei Petrov liked thisWe’re building a database at Roblox — from the ground up. RobloxDB is our next-generation distributed database for Roblox’s online data workloads. These systems power the persistent, real-time data behind Roblox experiences and need to scale as our creators, experiences, and users grow. We’re building RobloxDB to be strongly consistent, multi-tenant, multi-region, and elastically scalable. There’s a lot of interesting database work ahead: • Storage engine, indexing, MVCC, WAL, and query execution • Raft, replication, and strong consistency • Multi-region architecture and failover • Elastic scaling and zero-downtime tenant movement • Performance, tail latency, and reliability at scale • Deep work in RocksDB and the broader storage stack, with opportunities to contribute back upstream And this is not just a research project. RobloxDB is already serving large-scale production workloads at Roblox — and we’re just getting started. We’re growing the team and have three openings in San Mateo: 🔹 Senior Software Engineer: https://lnkd.in/gFNy_g26 🔹 Principal Software Engineer: https://lnkd.in/gQZaQ9Hb 🔹 Principal Software Engineer: https://lnkd.in/g3Xdgp2X If you’ve worked deeply on distributed databases or storage engines — RocksDB, Spanner, DynamoDB, Bigtable, Cassandra, or something you built yourself — I’d love to talk. DM me if you’re interested. Happy to share more about what we’re building. #Databases #DistributedSystems #Storage #Hiring #RobloxSenior Software Engineer - Roblox Database | RobloxSenior Software Engineer - Roblox Database | Roblox

Sergei Petrov liked thisSergei Petrov liked thisI am excited to share that I will be joining Roblox as a Software Engineering Intern in San Mateo for Summer 2027! My account had its 10 year anniversary during the interview process, so you know I mean it when I say that I have dreamt of this opportunity since I was a kid. A huge thanks to Bernadyne Thelemaque for all of her help through the recruitment process, as well as my family, friends, and peers for helping get me here. "Life is Roblox" - DJ Khaled #lifeatroblox

Sergei Petrov liked thisSergei Petrov liked thisCareer Update: After 13+ incredible years at Netflix, I've joined Roblox to lead the Economy ML efforts. Netflix was an extraordinary place to grow, both professionally and personally. I joined as an ML engineer working on personalization, and I leave having built and led a Studio AI R&D org focused on helping creators and reimagining how content is made. What I’ll miss most is the people who made me better every day. Thank you, all of you. What pulled me to Roblox: the Economy is a real and complex economy. Creators earn their livelihoods on it, and the ML underneath — recommendations, search, and marketplace dynamics — shapes both what they earn and what players experience. One week in, and I’m already fascinated by the richness and complexity of the problems, and by the people here: technically outstanding, highly collaborative, biased toward action, and incredibly welcoming from day one. Excited for what’s ahead!
