Template:High RankProduct Developer, also known as [PDV], is a rank that replaced the [HPD] (Head of Product Development) role, supposedly so that more people could have the role rather than a single person. This position is for people that improve and create new content for the game (e.g. trains, scenery).
This role is not a managerial position.
They directly report to the Innovations Director and do not have anything to do with the Operational departments.

How to apply for this role?
There is currently no official way to apply to become a Product Developer [PDV].
Previously PDVs were not recruited publicly however, on the 18th September 2020, BanTech posted a recruitment notice on Roblox Developer Forum, looking for a new PDV to upgrade trains here, and salary in terms of real money would be offered. In the end, a new PDV named aeroware was hired.
