Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise Platform

Discord; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 196,000 - 221,000; Full time

Job summary

Discord is seeking a skilled software engineer to own infrastructure as code, IAM, and platform delivery in a fast-growing consumer tech environment. You will implement API-driven configuration, build deployment pipelines, and enable self-service access for internal teams.

You'll work across Go, Python, and TypeScript, collaborate on CI/CD standards, and drive multi-milestone projects end to end in a competitive, collaborative culture.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building and operating production software at a technology company.
• Production code written in Go, Python, or TypeScript; not a pure admin role.
• Hands-on IAM with SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC; IaC with Terraform.
• Treat endpoint or infrastructure configuration as an API-driven surface.
• Platform-as-a-product mindset; ownership of multi-milestone projects.

Responsibilities

• Manage device fleet as code, moving config into versioned, API-driven infrastructure.
• Automate identity layer and connections to downstream apps via CI/CD.
• Own app delivery and IaC, building pipelines and provisioning patterns.
• Build self-service APIs, CLIs, and portals for automated access flows.
• Own domains end to end, writing RFCs and documentation for owned areas.

Job description

What You\'ll Do

• 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.
• Own your domain end to end: Take core components of the platform from design through production with no code boundaries, writing the RFCs and documentation for the areas you own.

What You Should Have

• 3+ years building and operating production software and systems at a technology company, with a track record of owning projects end to end.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals. You write production code (we lean on Go, Python, and TypeScript), and design, test, and ship it. This is not a systems admin role.
• Hands-on IAM experience (SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC) and working fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD.
• Experience treating endpoint or infrastructure configuration as an API-driven engineering surface rather than console work.
• A platform-as-a-product mindset. You care whether people actually adopt what you build, not just whether it ships.
• Comfort owning complex, multi-milestone projects through ambiguity, and energy for building in a greenfield environment.

Bonus Points

• 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.
