Job summary

Discord is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for the Growth team to own the onboarding and activation experience at scale. You will work across the stack to improve how new users discover and engage with Discord, from web onboarding to in-product experiences that drive retention.

The role emphasizes high-impact frontend (TypeScript, React) and backend (Python/Flask) work, with data-driven A/B testing and close collaboration with Product, Design, and Data Science.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong expertise in TypeScript and React with a track record of delivering high-performance frontend experiences.
• Practical experience with Python and backend frameworks such as Flask.
• Experience designing and running A/B tests with a focus on data-driven decision making.
• Comfort working across the full stack and taking ownership of projects end to end.
• A habit of asking why before asking how — and the judgment to know when good enough ships and when it doesn't.

Responsibilities

• Build and optimize user-facing experiences that improve how people discover, understand, and get started with Discord.
• Develop scalable backend systems that serve dynamic, high-performance content at scale.
• Work across the full stack — frontend (TypeScript, React) and backend (Python) — wherever the problem leads.
• Design and run A/B experiments to measure the impact of your work on user acquisition and activation.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Data Science to identify high-impact growth opportunities and iterate quickly.
• Maintain performance and reliability standards for user-facing properties.
• Write code that's readable, reviewable, and built with the next engineer in mind.
