Head of Product, Application Lifecycle Management

About the Role:

Roblox has 1000s of software engineers building the metaverse. The Application Management team in Roblox’s infrastructure organization builds the tools and processes they use to write, build, test, release and operate their software at scale. 

As the Head of Product for Application Lifecycle Management, you will be in charge of the strategy and vision for how software engineers work at Roblox. You will be responsible for ensuring that Roblox’s engineers spend more time building the metaverse and less time dealing with infrastructure. 

The Application Management product portfolio includes Source Control, Testing tools and infrastructure, Secure software supply chain management, Continuous deployment, and Observability tools. As the executive leader of this entire portfolio. You’ll be in a unique position to create a world class platform that serves the complete lifecycle of software at Roblox. 

This is a unique opportunity for an infrastructure product leader to make a massive impact at scale. Product Management is a new function within Infrastructure at Roblox. Roblox is still massively in growth mode, which means most of the platforms and products haven’t been built yet. You have the opportunity to build a world class application management portfolio and team from the ground up, but with the resources of a public company. 

This role will own: 

• The complete portfolio of application management tool chains to Roblox Engineers which today includes source control, test, CI/CD, metrics, logging, tracing and alarms (but the future will be defined by you) 
• Responsibility for overall productivity and satisfaction of Roblox’s engineering community 

You will: 

• Define and execute a long term product vision and strategy together with your engineering team 
• Make our internal platform world class, so every Roblox engineer is delighted to use it every day 
• Transform the organization from a mode of operating standalone tools to one of building an integrated, opinionated end to end experience 

You have: 

• At least 12 years of product management experience with at least 5 years delivering infrastructure, developer, or operations tools 
• Experience building infrastructure platforms at scale, as an infrastructure vendor, a cloud provider, or at internal platform teams in large SaaS organizations 
• Experience managing large, technically complex engineering programs that may take years to execute 
• Deep familiarity with modern cloud computing products including secure software supply chain management, observability tooling and continuous integration and deployment, but with enough curiosity to wonder what’s the next big invention that should be added to that list. 
• Experience managing small teams of high performing product managers, but also a willingness to roll up your sleeves to get things done
