• Contribute to the design and iteration of new features, including roleplay tools like props and avatar editor, live events, and new roleplay content

• Balance new and existing systems to ensure fairness, engagement, and monetization goals are met.

• Participate in ongoing competitive research and player testing to stay informed on top Roblox experiences and identify feature opportunities or risks.
