Principal Product Manager, AI 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, 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 mission of the Foundation AI group is to enable Roblox Creators to accelerate their workflows and to put AI in the hands of millions of users through their creations. We envision a future in which experiences on Roblox leverage generative text and speech capabilities to enable new forms of interactions in their experiences and generative 3D capabilities to allow new ways to create on the platform. 

We built our in house AI/ML Platform to provide a unified framework for all Roblox teams to accelerate the delivery of AI features to the community. This year we are launching AI APIs to our creator community so they can allow their players to use AI, this means our training and inference stack has to scale up to millions of DAUs. We need to continuously improve our API framework, our data tooling to enable use cases such as Retrieval Augmented Generation, Knowledge Graph and establish a robust evaluation framework to ship AI capabilities with high confidence.
