Product Manager, Horizon Mobile Runtime

Today, you look at the internet. In the future, you will be in it. The metaverse is the successor to the mobile internet. It is a set of digital spaces that are interconnected so you can easily move between them. It lets you do things you couldn't do in the physical world with people you can't physically be with. You'll be able to hang out together with friends, work, play, learn, shop, create, and more. And you’ll be able to access these spaces across all your devices.Meta Horizon brings people together around shared activities. It’s a collection of fun and rewarding games and experiences (“Worlds”) plus the platform and tools to create them. Our titles are social first – worlds focus on shared activities to help people build new friendships, hang out together, and play together. Horizon also provides a set of services that enhance these experiences (identity, inventory, travel, multiplayer coordination, media sharing, etc), providing consistency, continuity, and co-presence for the metaverse on Meta Quest and other devices.As the Product Manager for the Horizon Mobile Runtime, you will lead a team of engineers and designers to build the capabilities and features required for millions of people to see and experience these virtual worlds on their phones. This includes world loading and travel, simulation (physics, game script execution), rendering, visual effects, audio & VoIP, the UI layer, and overall performance, stability, and app weight. You’ll partner closely with platform teams with deep game engine expertise, game studios working to build great mobile experiences, the Meta Quest application team, and likely even Facebook and Instagram in order to bring the best mobile experience to the most people.In a typical month you will set or adjust the Mobile Runtime vision, goals, and milestone plans, work closely with cross-functional teams to define requirements and features, and align staffing with the most important problems to be solved (design, data science, technical art, legal, etc).The ideal candidate is a Product Manager or TPM with experience in mobile games or apps, who is also familiar with developer or creator platforms (e.g. game engines, AR Kit, Snap Lenses, etc.).
