Job Description

Come join us building the world's best messaging app, where millions of people make Discord their place to talk and hang out with their friends every day. Our small, nimble, messaging team is passionate about developing delightful and innovative features in the heart of our apps. We are working to build the future of communication.
We are trying to achieve a lot, but we are in a marathon, not a sprint, so good work/life balance is just as important as working with smart, experienced people (like you!?). Our business is growing very quickly, and we are growing quickly to support it. Join our team, and you can help us build the next generation of Discord.
To learn more about Discord Engineering, take a look at our engineering blog!What you'll be doing
  • Build new features across our iOS, Android, Web apps and the Discord backend systems. We work across the stack, but it's ok if you don't know all of our technology on day one.
  • Architect elegant and maintainable code with a focus on autonomy and support from the team.
  • Propose and champion improvements to the product, engineering, and process.
  • Work on meaningful projects that allow for users to have more delightful conversations.
  • Work with designers and product managers to create delightful interfaces and experiences.
  • Fearlessly dive into the unknown alongside intelligent engineers challenging themselves and people around you.
  • You'll report to the engineering manager of the Messaging team
Things we look for
  • 5+ years of experience building and shipping product features. Especially features for products at large-scale or in real-time applications.
  • Experience with iOS development (React Native or Objective-C/Swift)
  • Familiarity with Web development (React, TypeScript)
  • An eye for visuals. Design skills are not required but you will critique and modify existing designs.
  • A focus on impact. You have a thoughtful eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great. You collaborate with product managers, designers, analysts, and other engineers to fine great solutions to business problems

About Us

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.

We’re working toward an inclusive world where no one feels like an outsider, where genuine human connection is a click, text chat, or voice call away. A place where everyone can find belonging. Challenging? Heck yes. Rewarding? Double heck yes. It’s a mission that gives us the chance to positively impact millions of people all over the world. So if this strikes a chord with you, come build belonging with us!
