Discord · San Francisco, United States · 13h ago
Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.
We're looking for talented Software Engineers to join our Consumer Revenue squads, the teams at the heart of premium experiences at Discord. You’ll be building out a premium Discord for millions of subscribers, focusing on surfaces such as Nitro, shop, boosting, user identity, and more. Your work will be vital in delivering a high-value premium experience, without compromising the core experience for our free users. You’ll be a key driver in generating the revenue that fuels Discord’s mission.
In this product engineering role, you'll collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Data Science, Design, Marketing, and other functions to create best-in-class consumer experiences. Your work will cover the full breadth of the technical stack, from backend data modeling, through business logic in APIs, to polished, user-facing interfaces. You’ll be supported by infrastructure, platform, and product teams on your mission to build the best premium Discord.
What You'll Be Doing
- Build and improve premium Discord experiences such as Nitro, shop, boosting, user identity, and more.
- Own projects end to end by partnering with Product to refine requirements, create technical specs, and work closely with Design to execute and deliver best-in-class user experiences.
- Work with a team of full-stack engineers to ship new features across Web, Android, and iOS.
- Lead complex initiatives from conception to completion, thriving in ambiguous environments.
- Rapidly prototype new features and synthesize insights through experimentation.
What you should have
- 3+ years of software engineering experience. You’re a key technical contributor to your team and have led sizable projects which have had a big impact on your team’s roadmap.
- Full-stack proficiency. You are an expert in React/React Native with a solid grasp of Python backend development. We work primarily in the web (React, TypeScript), mobile (React Native, with a small amount of Kotlin, Objective-C, and Swift), and backend (Python).
- Product sense. You maintain a high degree of empathy for your internal and external users, and seek feedback from them about your work. You have an eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great.
- Ownership mentality. You thrive with autonomy, take initiative to drive projects forward, and are comfortable with ambiguity.
- Pragmatic approach. You find incremental approaches to solving complex problems, enjoy rapidly prototyping solutions, value your autonomy and operate with high integrity.
- Performance-focused mindset. You have a solid understanding of React performance and client-server performance optimization, and a commitment to maintaining high-performance standards.
- Growth mindset. You view challenges and mistakes as learning opportunities while building upon your successes. You push yourself and those around you to continuously improve.
