Senior Product Manager, Engine
LEGO Digital Play will bring the LEGO brand into digital entertainment in new, innovative, and wholly-owned ways. Our mission is to ensure the LEGO Brand remains as powerfully a part of children’s lives in the coming decades as it has ever been. We aim to reach every kid on the planet, their parents, and adult fans of LEGO—and provide them with meaningful, magical, and playful new experiences.
We are at the earliest phases of this new company, offering a unique opportunity to build a new entity for the world's most beloved and trusted brand. Our culture is open, collaborative, intellectually rigorous, and creatively vibrant.
Role Summary
This leader will be expected to deliver tangible products and prototypes, while also contributing to the long-term product strategy and aligning our product innovations with the core LEGO Brand Values of Imagination, Creativity, Fun, Learning, Caring, and Quality.
As a Senior Product Manager, you will share ownership of the product strategy for the engine that powers the platform, spanning rendering, physics, and the runtime on which every creator experience is built. You will set technical direction in close partnership with engineering, and treat the engine as a product in its own right, one whose customers are the teams building every other part of LEGO Digital Play.
Key Responsibilities
Jointly own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for the engine – spanning rendering, physics, and runtime – that underpins every experience on the platform.
Treat the engine as an internal platform product, gathering requirements from the teams that build on it (i.e., the other product teams) and translating their needs into a coherent technical roadmap and clear priorities.
Partner deeply with engineering on foundational architecture decisions (e.g., engine evaluation, build-versus-buy tradeoffs, and performance budgets across the range of devices our players use), bringing product rigor to choices that are easy to defer and expensive to reverse.
Safeguard performance, stability, and scalability as first-class outcomes, ensuring the engine holds up under the demands of user-generated content at scale and across a broad device population.
Establish the success metrics and validation approach for the engine (e.g., frame-rate stability, load times, crash-free sessions, device coverage) and instrument the platform so those metrics are continuously visible.
Qualifications
Extensive experience in technical product management, including a demonstrable record in the product development of game engines and related technologies (e.g., rendering, physics, runtime systems).
A strong technical foundation, with the fluency to engage engineers credibly on architecture, performance, and the tradeoffs between them.
Experience treating an engine, platform, or developer-facing technology as a product, with internal teams as the customers.
A proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and to influence senior stakeholders across a large, matrixed organization, including engineering, design, and partners.
A genuine affinity for the LEGO Brand and for creative, constructionist play, with the strategic clarity to translate that philosophy into a robust technical foundation.
