About the Job

We’re looking for a talented Software Engineer to join our Growth team at Discord. In this role, you’ll help build features and systems that provide meaningful value to our users while expanding our community. You’ll work cross-functionally with Product, Data Science, Design, and other teams to create best in class experiences for our users. You will be reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager of Discovery.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Work with other full-stack engineers on your team to build new features and expand existing capabilities. You will work on our product surfaces across Web, Android, iOS, and beyond.
  • Own problems end to end — through defining technical specifications, implementing changes, and launch.
  • Develop a deep understanding of our users, and work with cross-functional partners to build experience that acquire, activate, and retain users.
  • Work closely with design to deliver visually refined and exceptional user experiences across all of our client platforms.
  • Contribute to a fast-paced product engineering team by rapidly prototyping new features and developing principled learnings through experimentation.

What you should have

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience. We primarily work in the web (React, TypeScript), Android (React Native, Kotlin), iOS (React Native, Objective-C, Swift), and backend (Python and some Elixir).
  • A growth mindset. You view challenges and mistakes as learning opportunities while building upon your successes. You push yourself and those around you to continuously improve.
  • Product sense. You maintain a high degree of empathy for your internal and external users, and seek feedback from them about your work.
  • A love for experimentation. You get excited when numbers move by 1%
