Job description

Staff Software Engineer, Consumer Revenue

San Francisco, CA or Remote (U.S.)

Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.

This position is US based only.

We’re looking for a technical, hands-on, and mission-focused Staff Engineer to help scale our technology and revenue driving products. You will help oversee the technical roadmap across our Consumer Revenue org. You will work with teams across the organization such as Engineering, Product, Data Science, Design and Marketing to ensure that the technical strategy maps to the revenue goals of the team. Come help us scale our platform and products to directly promote the vision of multi-billion dollars in revenue at Discord.

What You'll Be Doing

• Focus on accelerating growth of existing revenue streams while laying the foundation for the development of new revenue streams and monetization opportunities.
• Collaborate with staff engineers and partners across the organization to ensure technical agreement to other systems, products and vision.
• Partner with Product, Design, Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Success to ship new initiatives that unlock revenue streams.
• Advise the leadership team on essential technical considerations related to ensuring engineering excellence and successful high impact key initiatives.

What you should have

• 7+ years of industry experience as a software engineer.
• We're a multi-platform (full stack) team, so it's important that you have a solid understanding of the development frameworks and fundamentals of one or more of our platforms: web (React, TypeScript), Android (React Native, Kotlin), iOS (React Native, Objective-C, Swift), and backend (Python and some Elixir).
• You have experience leading large initiatives from inception to launch.
• You have experience building and shipping product features. Especially features for products at large scale or in real-time applications.
• You have a sense for product and design. We don’t operate in silos, and you’ll be collaborating closely with cross-functional peers (product managers, designers, analysts, and other engineers). You should be able to express opinions and collaborate to make something great.
• You take a holistic approach to problem solving. You believe in solving a problem from first principles rather than simply shipping a solution. You learn from your mistakes and work through obstacles with the rest of the team.

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!
