Senior Engineering Manager, AI Roblox Studio

Roblox's engineering team is expanding rapidly, and we're looking for a seasoned engineering leader to help us scale our AI-powered creation platform and team. As a Senior Engineering Manager within the Creator Group, you will lead the Studio Assistant team — driving the strategy and execution of our agentic AI system that powers creation for millions of Roblox creators. Your team owns everything end-end from the user experience in Studio, to the infrastructure underneath backend by a single cloud-native architecture: one harness, one tool set, one eval framework. Your work will empower millions of creators to plan, generate, and ship content faster than ever before.

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 architecture for AI systems at scale and are excited about the challenges of shipping agentic workflows to millions of creators. You can be hands-on and still define an architecture from scratch — model orchestration, tool execution, evaluation pipelines — and make sure it scales from early adopters to millions of users
• Versatile: You're comfortable across the full stack of an AI-powered product: cloud orchestration, LLM integration and model routing, skill/tool execution, and creator-facing client experiences. You can easily adapt to any situation when the need arises and come up with the right solution.
• Knowledgeable: You have a deep understanding of AI infrastructure — model serving, reliability, observability, and multi-step execution loops including planning, tool use, and recovery. You can evaluate tradeoffs, recommend pragmatic solutions, and bring a team of engineers to consensus. You also love to pick up new technologies as the AI landscape evolves rapidly.

You Have:

• Experience: 10+ years of experience in large-scale software deployments with a proven track record of leading large teams (15+) and delivering highly performant technical solutions. Experience building or leading teams that ship AI/ML-powered products in production. BS in Computer Science; MS/PhD are a definite plus.
• AI systems depth: Experience with agentic systems, LLM orchestration, evaluation frameworks, and the operational challenges of shipping AI features reliably at scale.
• Strategic vision: You can identify high-impact opportunities, shape them into a roadmap, and get buy-in from leadership and partner teams to make them happen. You think beyond the immediate ask to find the right long-term opportunities for growth. 
• Building partnerships: You have a track record of working across organizational boundaries — aligning with partner teams on shared goals, navigating competing priorities, and driving joint execution on complex cross-team initiatives.
• Team-orientation: 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 AI engineering and applied ML.
• Own the technical strategy for our agentic AI stack — balancing speed, reliability, and creator experience.
• Balance researching emerging AI capabilities with a practical approach to shipping them into the Roblox product.
• Lead other engineers by example, through technical direction, and by authoring specs for new features and architectural improvements.
• Put the Roblox creator community first and represent the company through thought leadership.
