What We Do
Discord is a voice, video and text app that helps friends and communities come together to hang out and explore their interests — from artists and activists, to study groups, sneakerheads, plant parents, and more. With 150 million monthly users across 19 million active communities, called servers, Discord has grown to become one of the most popular communications services in the world. Discord was built without selling ads or user data and instead, offers a premium subscription called Nitro that gives users special perks like higher quality streams and fun customizations.
Why Work With Us
Imagine a workplace that not only tolerates but celebrates the unique perspectives each and every person brings to it. One that is representative of the world we want to live, play and work in. Well, imagine no more. Just as Discord gives everyone the power to belong, we are building a workplace that is welcoming and inclusive from the inside out.
