Roblox Developer

Job description

About Cinnamon Cinnamon is the most ambitious independent Roblox studio in the world. Our games have generated billions of visits. LifeTogether (3.8+ billion). Block Spin (1.1+ billion). Bayview (600+ million). Built from scratch, owned outright, growing every single day. No investors. No shortcuts. Just great games. We're always looking for exceptional Roblox Developers who could be a strong fit for Cinnamon, either now or as future projects and priorities develop. This is an ongoing talent pipeline rather than an urgent vacancy. We are not hiring to fill an immediate gap, but if we find someone genuinely exceptional and there is a strong fit, we are always open to moving quickly. The Role You'll build systems, mechanics and features experienced by millions of players worldwide while working closely with artists, designers and founders. This pipeline is specifically for experienced Roblox Developers with strong Roblox Studio and Luau experience. We're looking for people who can take ownership of major gameplay systems, make strong technical decisions independently and contribute across the wider Roblox development pipeline. On a small team, your work doesn't disappear into layers of management. It ships. Players experience it. It directly influences the success of the game. What You'll Do Develop gameplay systems, mechanics and features using Roblox Studio and Luau Build scalable systems for live Roblox experiences Create progression, economy and player engagement features Implement UI, audio and visual systems where required Optimise performance across client and server Debug and improve existing systems Collaborate closely with artists, designers and founders Take ownership of features from concept through release Prototype and iterate quickly based on testing and player feedback Contribute ideas that improve gameplay, retention and the overall player experience What We're Looking For Extensive commercial experience building Roblox games Strong Roblox Studio and Luau experience Proven experience shipping live Roblox experiences Experience working on games with significant player communities, typically tens of millions of visits or meaningful concurrent player counts Experience owning major gameplay systems from concept through live release Strong technical judgement and the ability to make architecture and gameplay decisions independently Deep understanding of gameplay feel, player retention, progression systems and technical game design Experience working on long-term live products rather than short-lived prototypes or hobby projects Ability to rapidly prototype, iterate and polish gameplay based on testing and feedback Comfortable taking ownership of complex technical problems with minimal direction Excellent communication and collaboration skills within a small, senior team Experience with UI, audio, VFX, optimisation, tooling, LiveOps or large-scale Roblox experiences is highly valued. Roblox Experience Matters We're not looking for a generalist programmer who happens to be interested in Roblox. We're looking for developers who already understand the platform. Roblox has its own development environment, technical constraints, player expectations and production culture. Successful Roblox games require more than technically correct code. Features need to feel immediate, understandable and satisfying while operating reliably at scale. The strongest developers understand both sides. They can build robust systems, but they also understand why players engage with them. They know when a feature technically works but still isn't good enough. They understand iteration, retention, progression and the speed at which successful Roblox games evolve. We're looking for people who can contribute immediately rather than learn Roblox development from scratch. Strong Developers Take Ownership Writing code is only part of the job. We're looking for developers who can be given a problem rather than a specification. You should be comfortable deciding how a system should work, identifying problems before they become blockers and pushing back when you believe there's a better solution. That means taking responsibility for the quality of what you build from the first prototype through release and beyond. Nobody at Cinnamon is interested in process for the sake of process. What matters is whether the game gets better. Location and Working Arrangement We are open to: Permanent employees who are already based in the UK and have the right to work here Remote contractors based anywhere in the world We do not provide visa sponsorship. If applying as a contractor, please state your hourly or daily rate, location, time zone and availability in your application. Why Join Cinnamon? Most developers spend years working on a game before players ever see the results. At Cinnamon, you'll see the impact of your work in months. We move significantly faster than traditional AAA development, but that doesn't mean we compromise on quality. We believe Roblox deserves the same ambition, creativity and craftsmanship as any major gaming platform, and we hold ourselves to that standard every day. We've never relied on investors to build Cinnamon. The studio is funded by the success of the games we've already created. Our products have generated billions of visits and reached millions of players worldwide, allowing us to grow through the success of our own games rather than external funding. Our goal is simple: build some of the best games on Roblox. We're highly selective about who we work with because every individual directly influences the quality of what we create. If you're excited by the idea of building Roblox games at an elite standard, taking real ownership and seeing your work reach millions of players, we'd love to hear from you.
