About the role

  • As the Senior/Principal Product Manager for Engine Systems Foundations, you will drive the vision and strategy for the most foundational parts of the Roblox game engine and be hands-on with the execution and delivery of products that impact over 130 million players every day
  • This team is responsible for the core performance, reliability, and efficiency of the engine, and it owns key features like our memory allocation library, thread/work dispatch system, and the backing APIs that power our creator performance tooling
  • If you are a visionary product leader who thrives on deeply technical challenges to improve the speed and quality of a system, you’ll be a great fit!
  • Define the long-term vision and strategy for Systems Foundations, ensuring we have plans in place to continually invest in the core pieces of a high-performance, realtime game engine
  • Take ownership of the engine-related content in the public Creator Analytics creators use to monitor the experiences on Roblox, ensuring we’re delivering actionable insights
  • Work with the Creator organization to define and drive end-to-end performance workflows for our creator community, such as connecting data that feeds Creator Analytics into Roblox Studio and our Microprofiler API and skill
  • Partner closely with the client application teams to drive alignment on joint performance improvement programs, platform expansion efforts, and more
  • Champion data rigor, working with Data Science to identify opportunities and measure the efficacy of our work
  • Think outside the box, working closely with engineering, to consider how the latest advances in AI, architecture, and more combine to deliver step-function improvements
  • Go hands-on to bring the roadmap to life partnering with engineering leadership to ensure all features are built and deployed successfully
  • Mentor and elevate the product culture within the team, fostering an environment of rigorous thinking, experimentation, and relentless customer empathy- 6+ years of product management experience, with a significant portion spent in technically deep products
  • Technical Fluency: A strong technical background (CS degree or equivalent experience) with the ability to discuss low-level architecture, C++, OS fundamentals, and similar with engineering partners. You’ve written multi-threaded code at least once and gone dining with philosophers
  • Strategic Leadership: Proven ability to define a multi-year product vision and rally large, cross-functional teams (Engineering, Data Science) behind it
  • Entrepreneurial drive: You have a “Founder” mindset. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, making high-stakes decisions with limited information, and driving projects from vague concepts to global launch
  • Highly Analytical: Proficiency in defining and tracking complex metrics. You use data to find the “signal in the noise.”
  • Experience with UGC platforms is a strong plus
  • Executive Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You can explain complex technical topics to non-technical executives and define detailed technical specs for engineers with equal fluency
