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 - offering 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 headsets and smart phones.As a Product Manager for the Horizon Creation Platform focused on Non-player Character (NPC) capabilities, you will lead a team of engineers and designers to build the capabilities, features, and workflows required for tens of thousands of creators to build the hangout spaces and 3D games that make up the metaverse. What tools do creators need to establish NPCs that perform typical game tasks like running virtual shops, and handing out quests? How can creators build effective NPC helpers for collaborative play and enemies for competitive play? How can we support GenAI LLM-based conversations with NPCs, and even more impressive capabilities like scene understanding and LLM-driven facial expressions, body animations, locomotion, and task completion? To invent and prioritize the best new features, you'll partner closely with product and game designers, technical artists, data scientists, AI researchers, game studios, community managers, and solo creators in our Meta Horizon Creators Program. In a typical month you will roll out new features, set or adjust product 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).
