Discord - Staff Software Engineer, Enterprise Platform
Requirements
• 6+ years building and operating production software and systems at a technology company, with a track record of owning ambiguous projects end to end. • Strong software engineering fundamentals. You write production code (we lean on Python, TypeScript and Rust), and design, test, and ship it. This is not a systems admin role. • Deep, hands-on IAM experience (SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC) and fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD. • Experience treating endpoint and fleet management as an API-driven engineering surface at scale. • A platform-as-a-product mindset. You have built self-service tooling that people chose to adopt. • Comfort with ambiguity and a founder's temperament; energized by building from scratch. • Hands-on experience with Okta, Jamf, or Intune. • Experience with identity and access governance for non-human, workload, or AI-agent principals. • Background at a high-growth consumer tech company with a highly technical employee base. • 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?

Responsibilities
• Manage the device fleet as code: Move device configuration off consoles and into versioned, API-driven infrastructure for endpoint management and hardware provisioning. • Automate the identity layer: Manage identity systems and their connections to downstream apps as code, from SSO and SCIM integrations to account workflows, so changes ship through version control and CI/CD instead of an admin console. • Own app delivery and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns that let internal systems be built and changed safely, establishing CI/CD standards. • Build the self-service layer: Design and ship the APIs, CLIs, and portals that compose primitives into paved paths, like a new hire's first day, where software access and group memberships land in one automated, auditable flow. • Set the foundation: Define the technical direction and architecture for the discipline, writing the RFCs and documentation that future hires will build on.
