What the posting says

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.

The Tooling team at Roblox builds the shared tools, frameworks, and developer experiences that make data reliable, discoverable, governable, efficient, and easy to use. Our work spans data quality, lineage, metadata, ownership, observability, lifecycle management, optimization, and self-service workflows that support Data Engineering, Data Science, Experimentation, Machine Learning, and product teams across Roblox.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team building these highly leveraged capabilities. You will help define the roadmap, grow and develop engineers, establish durable engineering standards, and partner across the company to turn complex data-operability challenges into simple, scalable workflows.

You will balance near-term customer impact with long-term platform foundations. Your team’s work will help users understand the health and cost of their data, discover the right datasets, respond to failures faster, meet quality and lifecycle standards, and safely improve the efficiency of the data platform.

You Will

Lead, coach, and grow a team of engineers through clear expectations, regular feedback, thoughtful hiring, and meaningful technical and career development.

Own and execute a roadmap for shared data tooling, including frameworks for data quality, lineage, metadata, ownership, discoverability, observability, lifecycle management, optimization, and self-service.

Set technical direction for platform capabilities that turn data and operational signals into actionable workflows, dashboards, alerts, recommendations, and automated remediation.

Improve the developer and user experience for discovering, validating, operating, and governing data products.

Drive initiatives that reduce operational toil, improve data quality and freshness, shorten incident resolution time, optimize compute and storage cost, and responsibly retire low-value data assets.

Create alignment across teams by communicating priorities, technical tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and measurable outcomes clearly.

Build a culture of ownership, operational excellence, experimentation, and continuous improvement.

You Have

Experience managing, mentoring, or technically leading engineers, with a demonstrated commitment to developing people and building high-performing teams.

Experience with data catalogs, lineage systems, data-quality frameworks, observability platforms, or metadata services.

Familiarity with agentic or AI-assisted workflows for data discovery, analysis, or platform operations.

Experience building or operating shared platforms and frameworks used by multiple teams—not only one-off datasets or pipelines.

Experience partnering with Data Science, experimentation, ML, product, or infrastructure teams to translate ambiguous requirements into durable technical solutions.

Strong product thinking: you can identify high-leverage customer problems, prioritize across competing requests, drive adoption, and measure whether a platform investment is working.

Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical concepts and tradeoffs to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
