公司:Roblox 岗位:Data Engineer (L4) 面试形式:Phone Screen + Virtual Onsite (4 轮) 结果:Pass → Offer
2026 年 4 月通过内推投递了 Roblox 的 Data Engineer 岗位。整个流程大约 3 周。
Roblox 的 DE 面试和其他公司最大的不同:游戏内经济系统就是真实经济。 Roblox 有自己的虚拟货币 Robux,玩家之间可以交易虚拟物品、购买游戏通行证、甚至通过创作游戏赚取真金白银。面试中大量考察”如何监控和分析一个复杂的虚拟经济系统”。
Phone Screen:虚拟物品交易分析
题目:计算热门虚拟物品的交易量和价格趋势
Roblox 有数百万种虚拟物品(服装、道具、通行证),需要分析哪些物品最受欢迎、价格走势如何。
-- 交易事件表
-- item_transactions: transaction_id, buyer_user_id, seller_user_id,
-- item_id, item_name, category, price_robux,
-- transaction_time, game_place_id
-- 我的解答
-- 热门物品 Top 20(按交易量)
WITH item_stats AS (
SELECT
item_id,
item_name,
category,
COUNT(*) AS transaction_count,
ROUND(AVG(price_robux), 0) AS avg_price_robux,
MIN(price_robux) AS min_price_robux,
MAX(price_robux) AS max_price_robux,
SUM(price_robux) AS total_volume_robux
FROM item_transactions
WHERE transaction_time >= TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)
GROUP BY item_id, item_name, category
)
SELECT
item_id,
item_name,
category,
transaction_count,
avg_price_robux,
min_price_robux,
max_price_robux,
total_volume_robux
FROM item_stats
ORDER BY transaction_count DESC
LIMIT 20;
-- 价格趋势分析(按天)
WITH daily_prices AS (
SELECT
DATE(transaction_time) AS stat_date,
item_id,
ROUND(AVG(price_robux), 0) AS avg_price,
COUNT(*) AS tx_count
FROM item_transactions
WHERE item_id IN ('item_001', 'item_002', 'item_003')
AND transaction_time >= TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 30 DAY)
GROUP BY DATE(transaction_time), item_id
)
SELECT
stat_date,
item_id,
avg_price,
tx_count,
ROUND((avg_price - LAG(avg_price) OVER (ORDER BY stat_date))
/ LAG(avg_price) OVER (ORDER BY stat_date) * 100, 2) AS price_change_pct
FROM daily_prices
ORDER BY item_id, stat_date;
面试官追问:
“如果某个虚拟物品的价格突然暴涨 10 倍,你怎么判断是正常需求还是有人操纵市场?”
我回答:
-- 分析维度 1: 看买家分布
-- 如果是少数买家大量购买 → 可能是囤货/操纵
-- 如果是大量买家少量购买 → 正常需求增长
SELECT
buyer_user_id,
COUNT(*) AS purchase_count,
SUM(price_robux) AS total_spent
FROM item_transactions
WHERE item_id = 'suspected_item'
AND transaction_time >= TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 24 HOUR)
GROUP BY buyer_user_id
ORDER BY total_spent DESC
LIMIT 10;
-- 分析维度 2: 看交易时间模式
-- 正常需求:全天分布均匀
-- 操纵:集中在某个时间段大量交易
SELECT
HOUR(transaction_time) AS hour,
COUNT(*) AS tx_count,
AVG(price_robux) AS avg_price
FROM item_transactions
WHERE item_id = 'suspected_item'
AND transaction_time >= TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 24 HOUR)
GROUP BY HOUR(transaction_time)
ORDER BY hour;
-- 分析维度 3: 看卖家集中度
-- 如果少数卖家控制了大部分供应 → 市场操纵迹象
SELECT
seller_user_id,
COUNT(*) AS sell_count,
SUM(price_robux) AS total_revenue
FROM item_transactions
WHERE item_id = 'suspected_item'
AND transaction_time >= TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 24 HOUR)
GROUP BY seller_user_id
ORDER BY sell_count DESC;
VO Round 1:反欺诈检测管道
题目:设计 Roblox 的反欺诈数据管道
Roblox 需要实时检测以下欺诈行为:
- 账号被盗(异常登录地点)
- 刷 Robux(通过虚假交易洗钱)
- 刷交易(制造虚假交易量)
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.functions import col, count, avg, stddev, window, when, udf
from pyspark.sql.types import DoubleType, StringType

.filter(
(col("login_count") >= 2) &
(col("country_count") >= 2) # 30分钟内从2个不同国家登录
) \
.withColumn("risk_score", lit(90)) \
.withColumn("fraud_type", lit("SUSPICIOUS_LOGIN"))
# 规则 2: 刷 Robux(短时间内大量交易)

col("user_id")
) \
.agg(
count("*").alias("tx_count"),
sum("price_robux").alias("total_robux")
) \
.filter(
(col("tx_count") > 50) | # 15分钟内超过50笔交易
(col("total_robux") > 100000) # 或者超过10万 Robux
) \
.withColumn("risk_score", lit(85)) \
.withColumn("fraud_type", lit("ROBUX_WASHING"))
# 规则 3: 虚假交易(同一对用户反复交易)
fake_trade = transaction_stream \
.withWatermark("transaction_time", "2 hours") \
.groupBy(
window(col("transaction_time"), "1 hour"),
col("buyer_user_id"),
col("seller_user_id")
) \
.agg(count("*").alias("pair_tx_count")) \
.filter(col("pair_tx_count") > 10) \
.withColumn("risk_score", lit(75)) \
.withColumn("fraud_type", lit("FAKE_TRADE"))
# 合并所有欺诈告警
all_fraud_alerts = suspicious_login \
.unionByName(wash_suspect) \
.unionByName(fake_trade)
# 写入告警队列
all_fraud_alerts.writeStream \
.format("kafka") \
.option("topic", "fraud_alerts.topic") \
.start()

面试总结
成功经验
- 游戏经济思维:把虚拟经济当作真实经济来分析,理解供应、需求、通胀等概念
- 反欺诈经验:了解常见的游戏内欺诈模式(刷币、洗钱、虚假交易)
- 实时监控设计:知道如何设计低延迟的告警系统
注意事项
- 规模理解:Roblox 每天有数亿次交易,管道设计要考虑高吞吐
- 合规要求:虚拟物品交易涉及金融监管,了解相关法规有帮助
