Senior Product Manager, Jobs Platform San Mateo, CA, United States

San Mateo, CA, United States Product ID: 6343 About the Role Jobs Platform is Roblox's 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, you'll 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. You Will Own Jobs 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 Roblox's 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 platform's 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.
