Ian Tuttle


Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) has turned to a longtime Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) veteran to take over engineering responsibility for its core engine, Axios reports.
The company named John Stauffer - who spent 23 years at Apple - as a VP of engineering, according to the report, which adds he's charged with (among other things) making Roblox's core engine run on as many devices as possible.

Stauffer will start next week and report to Chief Technology Officer Daniel Sturman.
Most recently, Stauffer has spent 14 years running Apple's Interactive Media Group with oversight of projects including CarPlay, Group FaceTime and AirPlay.
He told Axios he wasn't really looking for a new job, but Roblox reached out and "It took a little bit to convince me."
