About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of product management experience focused on compute infrastructure or distributed systems at scale.
  • Deep practical understanding of Kubernetes internals and control plane components, including API Server bottlenecks, Etcd scaling limitations, and Kubelet behavior, plus experience productizing custom Kubernetes Operators, Controllers, and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to extend platform capabilities beyond vanilla implementations.
  • Deep familiarity with GPU and accelerator architecture and scheduling challenges, including topology-aware placement, preemption, hardware affinity constraints, and mechanisms to validate resource readiness before scheduling to avoid wasted compute cycles.
  • Familiarity with cloud-native service networking, including microservices, Container Network Interfaces (CNIs), and enterprise-grade service mesh architectures.
  • Experience building production-grade compute platforms with efficiency, reliability, and developer experience designed in from day one.
  • Ability to balance the needs of multiple users and stakeholders and make tradeoffs between utilization, latency, cost, and time-to-ship while maintaining reliability.
  • A builder mindset, with passion for prototyping, evolving products through rapid iteration, and leveraging artificial intelligence for ideation and unlocking value for users.

Responsibilities

  • Drive strategy and roadmap for Compute Platform, spanning Managed Kubernetes (Roblox Kubernetes Service), Managed Compute Services and other critical distributed systems, and GPU and CPU machines managed via unified Fleet APIs across on-premises and cloud environments.
  • Drive the evolution of Compute infrastructure to support critical workloads, including AI, Storage, and Data Analytics, each with distinct requirements.
  • Build and scale GPU infrastructure to support training and inference for frontier models while optimizing cost-to-serve.
  • Improve Compute Platform reliability for AI and other workloads by lowering mean time to detection and recovery from failures.
  • Partner with seven key platform teams to understand their use cases and provide Compute Platform primitives that enable them to build on top easily.
  • Lead cross-functionally between Compute Platform users, engineers, AI researchers, Product, Finance, and Roblox leadership.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience building compute infrastructure on AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, or other cloud providers.
  • Background in AI model development, training, or inference.
  • Kernel-level experience or familiarity with custom kernel drivers.
  • Experience building agentic systems for compute or infrastructure.

About the Company

Roblox

Runs a platform where users build and play games

Roblox runs an online platform where people play, chat, and hang out in 3D games built by its users rather than by the company itself. In 2025, Grow a Garden, a game a teenager made on Roblox, set the record for the most people playing one video game at the same time. Creators build games with Roblox Studio, a free design tool, and players join through the free Roblox app on phones, computers, game consoles, and VR headsets. Roblox makes money by selling Robux, a virtual currency players spend on avatar items and in-game extras, and it shares part of that spending with creators, who can exchange their Robux for real money. Roblox was founded in 2004 and is based in San Mateo, California.
