2 years ago
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.
With millions of creators worldwide, Roblox is creating the future of play. Our Cloud offering (Roblox Cloud) encompasses a suite of free cloud services from hyper scale NoSQL databases to versatile serverless compute, making it seamless for creators to build any experiences they can imagine. This is not just any set of cloud services: they power important pieces of the metaverse, such as skill-based matchmaking and global marketplaces, that are used by hundreds of thousands of immersive experiences on a daily basis.
Our vision is to open up these and more services so they can be directly accessed by all creators from both inside and outside the Roblox ecosystem (Open Cloud initiative). This will enable creators to improve their own productivity by automating workflows or integrating with third party tools.
As a Lead Product Manager for Creator Services, you will drive the vision for the Roblox Creator Cloud and lead the execution of Open Cloud: besides working on maintaining and evolving our current portfolio of services and spinning up new ones, you will be responsible for the generic authorization layer through which creators access the Roblox cloud and ensuring that all Roblox teams are able to easily make their service available through it.
With experience working with infrastructure services, your mission is to iterate the features and new services that empower Roblox creators to build new experiences that no one has imagined before.
How far can this go? We don't know. We need you to help figure that out, so come join us!
