[Summer 2026] People Data Scientist Intern

Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators.

At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there.

A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone.

The People Science team at Roblox supports our Talent Acquisition organization and broader People, Places, & Systems group with applied statistics and data science. Our core mission is leveraging qualitative and quantitative data to drive decisions and optimize processes across the talent lifecycle.

This is a hands-on role focused on creating data-driven insights for Recruiting. You will join a high-impact group dedicated to translating complex data into clear, actionable tools and insights. Success means empowering our leadership to scale hiring efforts through data solutions that are not only accurate but also actionable and adopted.

The People Data Scientist Intern position is a part of our Roblox 12-week summer internship program located in San Mateo, CA at HQ.

You Will:

•
Leverage and contribute to the core data models owned by People Analytics, ensuring the underlying data logic is understood, accurately represented, and efficiently utilized in all downstream products.

•
Deliver self-service analytical products and reporting dashboards to recruiters and business leaders to enable data-driven operational decisions.

•
Partner with the Early Careers recruiting team to identify and relieve system bottlenecks.

You Have:

• Required: A Master’s degree in progress in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, or a related quantitative field.

• Technical Data Proficiency: You have experience in SQL for querying, wrangling, and optimizing large datasets, including Common Table Expressions (CTEs) and window functions; you have proficiency in data analysis and scripting using Python for data wrangling, modeling, and reporting.

• An Interest in Analytics Engineering: You have a desire to build scalable data infrastructure and "single sources of truth" that remain stable as systems evolve.

• Visualization Skills: You are interested in designing high-impact, user-friendly dashboards, and data stories using BI software such as Tableau, Looker, or similar tools.

• A Commitment to Clarity: You provide clarity through all your work products: your code, your documentation, your project plans, your visualizations, your presentations, and your tactical recommendations.

• A Systematic & Efficient Mindset: You don’t like to solve the same problem twice, and you are always on the lookout for reusable solutions. You create well-documented systems and procedures rather than approaching each new problem in isolation.

• Intellectual Curiosity & Skepticism: With a new dataset or business question, you are driven to explore relationships and constantly ask yourself why a particular result is occurring.

Please note the Company may not be able to employ candidates who have United States work authorization related to certain U.S. visa categories, or support future H-1B sponsorship at this time. You may redact age, date of birth, and dates of attendance/graduation from your resume if you prefer.
