Roblox's engineering team is growing rapidly and we are seeking an engineering leader to help us scale. As an Engineering Manager in the Creator group focusing specifically on our Data Pod, you will lead both the technical and organizational vision of how Creators persist data on the Roblox Platform.  Among other things, the Data Pod owns Data Stores, a key-value store used by creators for all player data they stored and loaded from the cloud within their experiences.  With trillions of entries, petabytes of data, and over 1M RPS,  you will be responsible for leading and managing the team developing this large-scale critical system within the Roblox Platform. 

At Roblox we move fast and ship code to production daily; your leadership will increase productivity by removing obstacles and keeping processes lean. You will identify and mitigate risk and make sure the technology outpaces our growth. Roblox teams are inclusive, helpful, and have a strong sense of ownership over the things they build. If you have a desire to grow and learn, you will fit right in with our highly-skilled and ever-expanding engineering team.

You are:

• Battle ready: You have experience defining the architecture for millions of users and are excited about technical challenges. You can be hands-on and still define an architecture from scratch and make sure it can scale from a few users to hundreds of millions.
• Experienced: You have 5+ years of experience in large-scale software deployments with a proven track record of leading teams and delivering highly performant technical solutions. You have a BS in Computer Science or a similar technical field (MS/Ph.D. is a definite plus).
• Knowledgeable: You have a deep understanding of all the components required to build modern large-scale infrastructure. You can recommend one route versus another and bring a team of engineers to a consensus. You also love to pick up new technologies as the landscape evolves.
• Versatile: You’re a jack of all trades and you have mastered several languages and technologies already; you can easily adapt to any situation when the need arises and come up with the right solution.
• Creative: You take a creative and strategic approach to solving hard problems and driving new tools/functionality for our developers 
• Team-oriented: You have a personality that invigorates the team around you and you are used to leading and growing technical teams in any situation.

You will:

• Grow our organization by attracting and retaining the best talent in the industry.
• Become an expert on our technology stack and make sure we solve problems in the right way.
• Balance researching new technologies with a practical approach to realize the research efforts into the Roblox products.
• Author specs for new features and improvements.
• Lead other engineers by example and through the technical direction.
• Collaborate with different teams to improve existing and develop new functionality, pipelines, and workflow.
