You will:
- Define the long-term vision and strategy for Systems Foundations, ensuring we have plans in place to continually invest in the core pieces of a high-performance, realtime game engine.
- Take ownership of the engine-related content in the public Creator Analytics creators use to monitor the experiences on Roblox, ensuring we’re delivering actionable insights.
- Work with the Creator organization to define and drive end-to-end performance workflows for our creator community, such as connecting data that feeds Creator Analytics into Roblox Studio and our Microprofiler API and skill.
- Partner closely with the client application teams to drive alignment on joint performance improvement programs, platform expansion efforts, and more.

- Entrepreneurial drive: You have a "Founder" mindset. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, making high-stakes decisions with limited information, and driving projects from vague concepts to global launch.
