The Roblox Marketplace is an essential piece of the Roblox experience, supporting the players' metaverse identity and personalization.

Our marketplace represents a fascinating and unique set of capabilities for creators and users that strives to help everyone realize their identity regardless of whether they love customizing their avatar or really just want to be a walking trophy case for the games they love and whether they have money to spend or none at all. We're designing and refining systems that support that vibrant community, and we need someone to blaze those trails with us.

As a senior product leader on the Marketplace team, you will establish and promote essential platform systems that promote a healthy and egalitarian creator ecosystem and economy.
