Head of Product, Compute Infrastructure

Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators.

At Roblox, we're building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We're on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there.

A career at Roblox means you'll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone.

Roblox connects 60 million daily active users to each other, all over the world. That takes some serious computing infrastructure, spread across data centers that we build ourselves at the edge and core, as well as public cloud infrastructure. The compute infrastructure team at Roblox is responsible for building the internal private cloud services that Roblox Developers and our Creator Community use to build and run the metaverse every day.

Reporting to the Sr. Director of Product Infrastructure, as the Head of Product for Compute Platform, you will be in charge of the strategy and vision for our complete portfolio of internal platform computing products. You will be responsible for ensuring that Roblox's engineers spend more time building the metaverse and less time dealing with infrastructure. For Roblox's users, the systems you build will ensure that Roblox is always available whenever they want to play. And for Roblox's executive team, you'll be responsible for our single largest budget line item and play a critical role in the profitability of our business.

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 compute platform portfolio and team from the ground up, but with the resources of a public company. The role is located in San Mateo, CA.

You Will Own:

• 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
• Figure out how we will make Edge computing work at scale
• Manage our infrastructure like a business, ensuring we make responsible financial decisions
• Figure out how to build and scale our AI/ML capabilities
• The complete portfolio of compute products exposed to Roblox Engineers which today includes Serverless, Batch processing and Bare metal products (but the future will be defined by you)
• The platforms on top of which our Storage and Network infrastructure teams build their products
• The tools and services that allow Roblox to make use of an ever growing set of Edge computing facilities

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 virtualization, containers, serverless, 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
