We’re seeking a process champion who is passionate about safety to join the Critical Harms Intelligence, Investigations, and Operations (CHIIOPS) team.

This role will primarily oversee escalated reports related to self-harm behaviors (to include suicide and eating disorders) and harmful regulated content such as illegal substances.
Please note: This role may review graphic, controversial, and sometimes offensive content in line with Roblox’s policies. This role will also require some on-call support.
