Responsibilities

• Set the multi-year vision for deploying, running, and scaling AI and other services across Roblox's Core and Edge Datacenters and cloud.
• 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.
• 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.
• Deliver integrated tooling (CI/CD, telemetry, profiling, tracing) and manage robust Service Level Objectives (SLOs) via real-time fleet signals (health, queue depth, scheduling efficiency).
• 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.
• Make 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.

• Built and operated Kubernetes and enterprise-grade service mesh at scale, and you understand the developer pain points around control plane mechanics like etcd scaling and API server bottlenecks.
• Built custom Operators, Controllers, and CRDs, going beyond vanilla Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with GPU/accelerator architecture and the complex scheduling challenges that come with it.
• Background in AI model development, training, inference.
• A builder mindset - you are passionate about prototyping, evolving products through rapid iteration, and leveraging AI for ideation and unlocking value for users.
• Experience building workload management or resource orchestration platforms in AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure or other cloud providers.
