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.
As the PM lead for the Platform Expansion team, you'll work across groups at Roblox, bringing the best of Roblox to every user device imaginable.

You are:
- Experienced. You have 7+ years of Product Management experience shipping high quality, delightful consumer apps across multiple platforms, especially mobile devices and game consoles.
- Obsessively customer-focused. Delighting customers is a never-ending goal.
- Driven. Bringing Roblox to a new device platform means juggling many technical, product, and policy requirements across many teams. You have to lead the team over the roadblocks that inevitably come.

- Entrepreneurial, with an ability to contribute to product design, project management, and technical ideas.
- Able to thrive in a fast-paced environment, with competing resources and priorities, through the product life cycle from planning, through launch
You will:
- Direct the implementation of Roblox on new devices, spanning different screen sizes, use cases, and input modes.
- Guide prioritization of deploying on new platforms vs. growing existing platforms, balancing business metrics, product strategy, and company vision.
- After landing Roblox on the new platform, work with other groups at Roblox to strategize and implement ways to expand Roblox reach on that platform.
- Work with third-party distribution partners, like hardware vendors and app stores, to prioritize and maximize distribution opportunities.
- Build thoughtful features that use the unique features of each platform, but still ensure a Roblox experience across all of them.
