Role summary
Roblox is seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead the vision and roadmap for its Content Platform. This foundational system handles billions of daily requests for all content assets on the platform. The role involves scaling the platform to support a massive increase in AI-generated content, enhancing creator workflows with features like versioning and external tool integration, and evolving the permissions and licensing model. The ideal candidate has 8+ years of product management experience in large-scale systems, storage, or developer platforms, with a deep technical understanding of distributed systems, APIs, and data modeling. Familiarity with AI/ML product strategy and creator workflows is crucial for this role, which requires close collaboration with engineering, design, and data teams to drive measurable outcomes in reliability, latency, and creator productivity.
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.
