The opportunity
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…
What you'll do
Delivering high-quality, high-impact projects that unlock new capabilities: for game developers. This could include anything from our APIs, the Discord app, developer portal, realtime infrastructure, or even our C++ SDKs. Whatever it takes to get the important thing done.
Collaborating with the other engineers on your team to write, review, and: ship elegant and scalable code. You take pride in the fact that your code will be used by millions and millions of people!
Leading projects through the whole life cycle: from gathering requirements, breaking down milestones into smaller pieces, building, then shipping the thing.
Listening and working with our game developer partners to better understand: their needs in order to improve our tools. This could mean hopping into partner meetings with our Solutions Engineers or working with our DevRel team to answer their questions.
Working with product managers, designers, and partner managers to cut through: ambiguity and find the way forward.
Maintaining performance and reliability standards for our features.
What they're looking for
- Using your attention to detail to continually raise the quality bar of the software we write.
- + years professional experience as a software engineer.
- Experience with some parts of our tech stack. This is mainly Python and: Typescript/React, but could include Elixir, Rust, or C++. You are comfortable switching across stacks or learning new ones.
- Experience building software that leverages large data based applications.: Data plays a huge part in the work that we do and how we support our developer partners.
