Roblox; California (MO); On-site; USD 281,000 - 331,000; Full time

Job summary

Roblox seeks a Senior Product Manager for the Inference Platform to lead end-to-end orchestration of AI and service workloads across Core, Edge, and cloud. You will define multi-year vision, drive platform-scale deployment, and align cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, scalable AI infrastructure.

You will partner with AI, data science, and infrastructure groups to push predictive scaling, robust tooling, and cost-to-serve insights while maintaining developer-focused UX and strong SLOs.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of product management experience building resource orchestration, workload management platforms or large-scale distributed systems.
• Built and operated Kubernetes and enterprise-grade service mesh at scale.
• Familiarity with GPU/accelerator architecture and complex scheduling challenges.
• Background in AI model development, training, inference.
• Builder mindset with rapid iteration and AI-enabled ideation.
• Experience building on AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure or other cloud providers.
• Kernel-level experience or familiarity with custom kernel drivers (preferred).
• Experience building agentic systems for workload management or infrastructure (preferred).

Responsibilities

• 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 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 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.
