Senior Product Manager, Inference Platform

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 were 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. Were 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 youll 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.

Inference Platform is Robloxs multi-tier orchestration system for microservices powering AI Inference across Roblox. Through a simple developer API we deliver a deploy and forget runtime hiding the complexity of scheduling scaling and reliably running services across our on-prem and multi-cloud footprint at global scale. As Principal Product Manager Jobs Platform youll take the helm at a defining moment - leading the charge as we scale the platform to become the default runtime for critical Roblox services worldwide.

• Own Inference Platform end-to-end - set the multi-year vision for how Roblox engineers deploy run and scale AI and other services across our Core and Edge Datacenters and cloud.
• Power Robloxs AI future - build the platform that brings frontier models and next-gen AI workloads to life with the primitives scheduling guarantees and resource classes AI teams need to move fast.
• Evolve the platforms technical core - define how Roblox prioritizes isolates and preempts workloads across shared fleet and shape the entire system across global control plane multi-region orchestration distributed systems primitives capacity/state management DR/failover and operator-based Kubernetes extensions.
• Make developer experience the reason teams choose Jobs Platform - by delivering integrated tooling (CI/CD telemetry profiling tracing) and managing robust SLOs via real-time fleet signals (health queue depth scheduling efficiency)all while engineering a frictionless effortless onboarding experience for teams.
• Architect intelligent predictive scaling - advance Multi-Cloud Bursting from reactive to proactive with AI-powered prediction and partner with Data Science and Finance on demand forecasting cost-to-serve analytics and AI-driven resource optimization.
• Own the trade-off calls across efficiency latency cost-to-serve and time-to-ship while maintaining reliability.
• Lead cross-functionally acting as the connective tissue between Jobs Platform Users and Jobs Platform AI and infrastructure engineers.

• 7 years of product management experience building resource orchestration workload management platforms or large-scale distributed systems
• Track record of building developer-facing platforms that engineers genuinely love to use. You have a deep understanding of modern software development lifecycle and developer tooling with a history of abstracting complex infrastructure into clean maintainable platform schemas.
• Built and operated Kubernetes and enterprise-grade service mesh at scale and you understand the developer pain points around control plane mechanics like etcd scaling and API server bottlenecks. Youve shipped custom Operators Controllers and CRDs going beyond vanilla Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with GPU/accelerator architecture and the complex scheduling challenges that come with it.
• Background in AI model development training inference
• A builder mindset - you are passionate about prototyping evolving products through rapid iteration and leveraging AI for ideation and unlocking value for users.
• Experience building workload management or resource orchestration platforms in AWS Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Azure or other cloud providers. (preferred)
• Kernel-level experience or familiarity with custom kernel drivers. (preferred)
• Experience building agentic systems for workload management or infrastructure. (preferred)
