Yea max out Roth IRA. The best part of Roth is you do not pay taxes on the investment returns.
You want to keep on putting in max amount until you exceed income limits

If you have a high deductible health plan get an HSA. It’s an even better deal than the Roth; can use for health care expenses or can save for retirement and it is tax free on both ends, not just the back end like a Roth.

Max out Roth, and then do the backdoor 401k conversion if your employer gives you access to that.

A lot of FAANG and maybe tech in general offers it. Only option if your employer doesn't offer it is to do the conversion when you leave (but then you have to pax tax on whatever gains you had while working there).

In order:

401k up to employer match
Roth IRA
HSA if applicable
401k up to limit
After tax

If your employer has ESPP or RSU programs, build that into your plan
