## Job description

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.

The Content Platform is the home of all content on Roblox - every mesh, image, sound, animation, script, and place that our creators build lives here. It ingests, stores, processes, and serves every asset on the platform, handling billions of requests a day from Studio, game servers, and the Roblox client. It decides who can use what, transcodes content into the right format and fidelity for every device and network, and delivers it to millions of players around the world. As one of the most foundational systems at Roblox, it is the backbone that every experience, every creator workflow, and every player session depends on - reliably, securely, and at scale.

The way content gets made is changing fast. AI and agents are about to multiply the volume of content created on Roblox by orders of magnitude, and creators expect to draft, iterate, version, and collaborate on their work the way modern software teams do. As the Product Leader for the team, you will define and lead the roadmap for how content is created, stored, understood, governed, and served on Roblox. Your work will shape the core infrastructure, APIs, and creator workflows that power every experience, and make the platform ready for the wave of AI creation. This is a rare opportunity to rebuild the content backbone of a platform used by tens of millions of people every day.

You will:

- Own the vision and roadmap for the Content Platform, spanning ingest, storage, processing and transcoding, permissions, and delivery of every asset on Roblox.
- Scale a mission-critical service that stores and serves all content on Roblox reliably and performantly, across billions of daily requests and a globally distributed infrastructure.
- Make the platform ready for AI creation: scale the content backbone for orders of magnitude more content created by agents as well as people, and build the structured metadata and content understanding that agentic workflows, search, and safety depend on.
- Support core developer workflows for creators, including drafts, versioning, branching and rollback, packages and dependencies, import and export from external tools, and open APIs that work as well for an automated pipeline as for a creator in Studio.
- Evolve our permissions and licensing model so creators and IP holders can share, license, and protect their content with confidence, across users, groups, experiences, and AI agents.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engine, Studio, Creator Store, Trust & Safety, infrastructure, and AI teams to build systems that are reliable, extensible, and impactful at global scale.
- Translate platform-wide goals into concrete platform capabilities and traceable metrics like reliability, latency, cost to serve, creator iteration speed, and adoption.

You are:

- Experienced, with 8+ years of product management experience, ideally in large-scale systems, storage, content delivery, or developer platforms; familiarity with media pipelines, CDNs, or asset management systems is a plus.
- Formal degree in a technical field such as: Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar experience.
- Deeply technical, with a strong understanding of distributed systems, storage, APIs, and data modeling; capable of working closely with engineers on architecture and trade-offs.
- A builder of developer products, with great taste in APIs and creator workflows and a deep understanding of how creators build, iterate, and ship.
- AI-fluent, with a point of view on how agents and generative models will change the way content is created, managed, and consumed.
- Metrics- and impact-driven, you can translate platform changes into measurable outcomes like reliability, latency, cost, and creator productivity.
- Highly collaborative, with a track record of leading through influence across product, engineering, design, and data teams.
- Self-directed, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and driven by curiosity, creativity, and a desire to scale systems that touch millions.
