Producer

About the Company: 

Voldex is a leading company in the UGC (user-generated-content) games space. We are the home to top games on Roblox, Fortnite Creative, and Minecraft. We have nearly 25 million monthly active users across our games and we’re among the top grossing developers on Roblox. We started the business in 2015 and are a team of 60 full-time global team members. 

We’re backed with significant capital from Andreessen Horowitz, Makers Fund, and Dune Ventures. 

Our top games include:

• Driving Empire, the #1 driving game on Roblox where we’ve brought real cars into the game in partnership with automakers.

• Ultimate Football, the #1 American football game and top grossing sports game on Roblox.

• Dungeon Quest, the #1 dungeon crawler game on Roblox.

About the Role:

Voldex is looking for an experienced Game Producer to help ensure the timely delivery of content for a top-performing game on Roblox. Producers at Voldex partner closely with other disciplines (art, design, engineering, test, etc) to keep our updates on time and within scope. Knowing how to identify, communicate, and mitigate risks to project schedules will be vital for the success of this role. In simplified terms, the producer owns the ‘when’ within product development. 

While the PM, Designer, and Developer are invested in the product (and the changes being made), the Producer is invested in shipping those changes (and the process to do so as efficiently and effectively as possible.) The team and how they operate are the product for the Producer. They are focused on how to make that team more effective in delivering the end product.
