Om tjänsten
Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for
many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a
uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out
before, during, and after playing games.
The Consumer Revenue org sits at the center of how we build
a sustainable business around that community. We're looking for a talented Staff Engineer to join teams working
across premium experiences and core user identity, shaping the technical strategy that ties it all together. You'll work across
surfaces like Nitro, Shop, Server Boosting, and User Identity to build a premium Discord that delivers real value
to subscribers without compromising the core experience for our free users.
In this full-stack product engineering
role, you'll collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Data Science, Design, Marketing, and other functions to create
best-in-class consumer experiences. Your work will cover the full breadth of the technical stack, from backend data modeling,
through business logic in APIs, to polished, user-facing interfaces. You’ll be supported by infrastructure, platform, and product
teams on your mission to build the best premium Discord
Check out some of our recent launches on Nitro, Shop, Server Boosting, User

What you'll be doing:
- Accelerate growth of existing revenue streams while laying the foundation for new monetization opportunities across
surfaces like Nitro, Shop, Boosting, and User Identity.
- Own complex initiatives end to end by partnering with Product to
refine requirements, create technical specs, and work closely with Design to execute and deliver best-in-class user
experiences.
- Collaborate with Staff Engineers and partners across the organization to drive technical alignment across
systems, products, and long-term vision.
- Advise leadership on critical technical considerations tied to engineering
excellence and high-impact initiatives, and partner on strategic planning to improve how we build and operate.
- Lead a
full-stack engineering work across Web, Android, and iOS, setting the technical bar for your team and helping them achieve
it.
- Rapidly prototype new features and synthesize insights through experimentation, thriving in ambiguous problem spaces
where the right path isn't always obvious.
What you should have:
- 8+ years of
software engineering experience. You have a track record of leading large initiatives from inception to launch that have
had meaningful impact beyond your immediate team.
- Full-stack proficiency. You are an expert in
React/React Native with a solid grasp of Python backend development. We work primarily in the web (React, TypeScript), mobile
(React Native, with a small amount of Kotlin, Objective-C, and Swift), and backend (Python).
- Product
sense. You maintain a high degree of empathy for your internal and external users, and seek feedback from them about your
work. You have an eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great.
- Technical leadership. You
help teams move with clarity and purpose, translating ambiguous goals into executable roadmaps and creating the conditions for
engineers around you to do their best work.
- Ownership mentality. You thrive with autonomy, take
initiative to drive projects forward, and are comfortable with ambiguity.
- Holistic approach to problem
solving. You solve from first principles rather than reaching for the nearest solution. You think about the full system,
learn from mistakes, and bring the team along with you.
- Performance-focused mindset. You have a solid
understanding of React performance and client-server performance optimization, and a commitment to maintaining high-performance
standards.
- 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.
Bonus
points:
- Growth and monetization experience. You have worked on teams focused on revenue
generation, product monetization, or user engagement systems, with a history of attracting new users, driving engagement,
sustaining long-term retention, and optimizing monetization outcomes.
- Experimentation and data driven decision
making. You have a strong track record of driving measurable impact through structured experimentation and letting data
guide your conclusions.
- Optimization at scale. You have experience identifying and solving bottlenecks
in consumer-facing applications with large, active user bases.
- Passion for Discord. You use the
platform, care about the community, and are motivated by the idea of making Discord better for everyone on it.
