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.
We’re building a cloud for the Metaverse here at Roblox. Our engineers use this cloud to build Roblox itself. Like a public cloud, our private cloud provides Database services to engineers at Roblox. What sets our cloud apart from others, is that the Databases cater to the unique needs of the Metaverse. As the Director of Product - Databases, you’ll oversee the strategy and execution of our private cloud database product portfolio.
Our database team provides a variety of data management products for use by our internal engineering teams. This includes products for transaction processing, analytics, caching, queueing, object storage, stream processing, vectors, and a variety of other use cases. While the technologies are familiar, we have unique challenges at Roblox. We operate at a massive scale, supporting more than 70 million daily active users and growing rapidly. Data and its management represent a substantial financial investment for roblox making decisions about how they work deeply impactful to our business. And the metaverse is distributed; we operate across dozens of datacenter locations (across on-prem and cloud) adding a layer of complexity to every storage system.
This is an opportunity to build a truly unique cloud platform at scale!
