Sr/Principal Product Manager, Marketplace Discovery and Recommendations

Avatars are core to our mission and everyday, millions of people come to Marketplace or other avatar shopping experiences to discover and shop for creations that help them express their individuality. They dress and play with their avatar as they connect with friends across thousands of immersive digital experiences. Powering the creativity of our Marketplace is our community of creators and developers who are building businesses and establishing their brand by selling creations. These creators range from individuals to small businesses to large brands, all of which are attracted to the Roblox platform, community and offerings.
