Wanted Sr. Web Application Engineer For A Fast Growing Virtual World and 3D Game

ROBLOX is an online virtual world and building game built on a 3D physics engine – everything moves. Some have described it as “Second Life meets LEGO”. Others as a 3D gaming version of YouTube: some users create and publish games, while others find and play them, like videos on YouTube but with the ROBLOX game client.

ROBLOX users have created a stunning assortment of games – cop-and-robber romps though brick cities, flight simulators, soccer matches, RPGs (dice rolling and shoulder mounted), racing games, demolition derbies, paintball capture the flag, and castle stormings. In fact, a new ROBLOX game is uploaded by users every 10 seconds.
