At Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft, we are on a mission to build a better world through the power of play.
Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.
We enable millions to create and play together, connect people across the globe, and foster a community that is among the most active and passionate in the world. Our community is global and incredibly diverse. When we are developing anything within our franchise, we keep this in mind. We want everyone to not only feel included in Minecraft, but also to see themselves in what we make. Our goal is for the Mojang Studios team to be as diverse as our community.
The Minecraft team is looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the Bedrock Platform Gameplay Systems Team; we build the engine and systems that power a diverse set of Minecraft gaming experiences over a dozen platforms in support of multiple internal partners and all Bedrock players and creators.
Is collaboration across organizations and cultures at the heart of what you do every day? This role will be accountable for planning, production, and managing end-to-end delivery of core game engine systems and platform programs that support Minecraft Bedrock. Collaboration, technical insights, and a drive to align challenging technical solutions for multiple customers will be critical to our success together.
We are seeking a candidate with technical background and experience partnering with teams of engineers, quality assurance, and designers through the full feature lifecycle. Your multiple and varied internal stakeholders depend on you to find and align the best outcomes for all. Your role will collaborate across the organization, understand and communicate requirements and information efficiently and effectively, drive for clarity across the opportunity space to solutions, develop relationships that lead to efficient problem solving, and share the vision and outcomes to all the needed areas of the business, including senior leadership. The ability to track and deliver value to multiple customer release activities simultaneously will be key.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
