Requirements
• 8+ years of experience as a software engineer, including experience leading cross-functional projects as an individual contributor. • Strong expertise in at least a couple of the major parts of our stack: Python, TypeScript/React, and mobile with React Native. You're comfortable switching between stacks and have a track record of picking up new ones quickly. • A product sense that goes beyond implementation. You'll be collaborating with PMs and designers daily, and we need someone who can push back, suggest alternatives, and help shape what we build. • Comfort with ambiguity and experimentation. This team ships A/B tests, reads results, and changes direction. You should be someone who thrives in that environment rather than waiting for a fully-baked spec. • A bias toward solving problems from first principles. You learn from what didn't work and help the team do the same. • Extensive experience with React Native for mobile development. • Experience with game development or game platform ecosystems. • Experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure) for production backend systems. • This position is US-based and can be remote but if you live in the Bay Area, you’re welcome to work from our beautiful SF office. The US base salary range for this full-time position is $248,000 to $279,000 + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role and level. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include equity, or benefits. • Why Discord? Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We're a multiplatform, multigenerational and multiplayer platform that helps people deepen their friendships around games and shared interests. We believe games give us a way to have fun with our favorite people, whether listening to music together or grinding in competitive matches for diamond rank. Join us in our mission! Your future is just a click away!
Responsibilities
• Building cross-platform purchase flows, social gifting experiences, and commerce surfaces that meet users where they already are — in voice, in chat, on mobile. • Owning projects end-to-end: scoping, designing, building, shipping, and iterating based on experiment results. You'll run A/B tests, read the data, and make the call on what to do next. • Working directly with game studio partners to understand their needs, answer technical questions, and improve the tools we build for them. • Collaborating closely with product, design, and game developers to cut through ambiguity on a product where the playbook is still being written. • Partnering with other product teams to design shared commerce primitives that work across Discord. • Raising the bar for the engineers around you through code review, technical design input, and leading by example on quality and ownership.
