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.
Come build the future of Discord's business with us! We are looking for impact-focused engineers to join our world-class Revenue group as we accelerate Discord's growth through the creation of compelling paid products.

- Be a founding team member of an important company initiative that we believe will lead to substantial revenue growth for the business
- Solve complex domain problems in the areas of high-volume and accurate data collection, real-time reporting, budget pacing, and frequency capping
- Partner with stakeholders and engineers across a small set of teams to define problems and build solutions into high scale, reliable and observable infrastructure

What you should have:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience. We primarily work in the backend (Python, Rust, and Elixir) to build systems for metrics collection. We build on top of systems like Flink, PubSub, Pulsar, and Airflow. You have familiarity with similar systems and a background building scalable and accurate event tracking, aggregation, database design, querying, and data caching.
- You have a data and infrastructure mindset. You are excited to dig into large datasets to validate data and algorithms, and enjoy designing well-built, available and observable systems. You also are familiar with querying and presentation of complex data. You have experience working with infrastructure in cloud environments such as GCS, and using observability tools similar to Datadog.
- You stay up to date on relevant technology trends and developments. You view challenges and mistakes as learning opportunities while building upon your successes. You push yourself and those around you to improve
- You have a product sense. You maintain a high degree of empathy for your internal and external users, and seek feedback from them about your work
- You love business impact. You get excited seeing numbers go up (or down!) as a result of your work

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.
