The Data Science & Analytics organization's mission is to increase our speed, frequency and competence of making decisions at scale by instilling a data-influenced approach to building products. We cover a wide area of the data spectrum including analytical data engineering, product analytics, experimentation, causal inference, statistical modeling and machine learning. Aligned and partnering with product groups, we use this vast tool belt to discover new opportunities and unmet use cases, influence and craft the product roadmap and prioritization, build data products and measure the impact on our community of players and developers.WHY App Health?
Roblox is used by over 70 million people every day, across almost all devices (mobile, desktop, console, VR, etc.). Our users expect outstanding app performance: lightning-quick launches, buttery smooth animations, and rock-solid stability.
