Discord is looking to solve the problem of making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games, while also generating revenue through innovative ad formats and distribution tools for game developers, players, and Discord.
Requirements
- Expertise with Python and/or Rust, Typescript, React, React Native
- Familiarity with experimentation and analysis
- Contributions to open-source projects
- Interest or passion for the Discord platform
- Domain knowledge in the ad delivery space
- 4+ years of experience, with 2 years in relevant roles
Responsibilities
- Design, build and maintain new Ads products and infrastructure from the backend to frontend. Collaborate with both engineers on and off the team - from Revenue Infrastructure, to Core Tech, to Machine Learning, to Data Science.
- Be a strategic partner with engineering, product, and cross functional leadership in designing, developing and scaling digital advertising features that drive revenue growth and enhance user engagement.
- Architect simple and maintainable systems to enable us to launch quickly and iterate while sustaining a high product and technical quality bar.
- Model strong ownership by acting autonomously when possible and looping in others to build confidence on critical questions. Introduce coding and operational best practices to the team; always be learning & teaching.
- Own projects end to end — you’ll be responsible for working with Product and other stakeholders to refine requirements, creating technical designs and specs, implementing changes, and seeing projects through to launch and maintenance.
Other
- A focus on impact. You have a sharp eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great.
- A sense of ownership. You believe in solving a problem completely rather than simply shipping a solution.
- A growth mindset. You view mistakes as learning opportunities and build upon your successes.
- A love of mentorship. Helping fellow engineers, providing feedback and guidance on system architecture, API design, data modeling, and tradeoffs.
- Candidates must reside in or be willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area
