Summary Generated by Built In

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 believe the future of connection goes beyond simple messages—it’s about feeling truly present with others, no matter where you are. Our mission is to build the most seamless, engaging, and dynamic ways for people to stay connected, collaborate, and share experiences effortlessly. We’re aiming to reach a billion people, and we need innovative thinkers to help us get there.

Roblox is uniquely positioned to set the standard for digital communication, redefining how people engage, express themselves, and build relationships across the metaverse. The tools you create will power everything from casual chats to deep, meaningful connections, shaping how users communicate across the platform.

One way we’ve already made this vision a reality is with Party—a feature that allows friends to gather, choose a game, and jump into the same server together—right from within Roblox. No more complicated planning, no more switching between apps—just effortless connection. And the impact is clear: group play sessions now last nearly twice as long as solo sessions. Party has already transformed how people connect and play on Roblox- but we’re just getting started.

As a Product Manager for Communication, you’ll lead the evolution of private messaging on Roblox, shaping how millions of users interact daily. Your work will span text, voice, avatar-based communication, and shared experiences, ensuring people can connect in the most natural and immersive ways possible—whether they’re playing, creating, learning, or just hanging out.

  • Organized and driven. Creating new ways for users to interact with Roblox requires juggling many technical, product, and policy requirements across many teams, features, and device platforms. You have to lead the team over the roadblocks that inevitably come.
  • Inspirational. You lead and empower cross-functional teams to deliver successful projects. You convey through written, visual, and verbal communication, always aligning to the future vision of where the idea could lead us.
