Discord jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Discord is a place to talk with friends by voice, video, and text, mostly around games. Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy released it in 2015. It works on PC, mobile, and console. Game developers can put Discord chat and social features into their own games with the Social SDK.

What they value

• Cultivate belonging: start from trust and assume good intent.
• Deliver for customers from first principles, not from what competitors do.
• Surprise and delight through care for small details.
• Debate, decide, commit: transparency is the goal, not consensus.
• Progress over perfection: start small and deliver value early.
• Embrace the brutal facts: use data and change direction when a thing fails.

Where they hire

Most roles are in the San Francisco Bay Area, and many postings ask people to live there or move there. Some teams want office days each week. A few roles are remote in the US. Discord continues visa sponsorship for current O-1, TN, E-3, H-1B1, and H-1B holders, and sponsors new TN and E-3 visas.

Teams and roles

Most open roles are in engineering. Postings name Python, TypeScript, React, Rust, and Elixir as the main tech stack.

• Safety: engineers, machine learning engineers, and managers who build systems that keep users safe from abuse, with on-call work.
• Product engineering: full-stack and backend work on growth, ads, notifications, consumer revenue, social commerce, and game features.
• Core tech and data: data platform, distributed systems, data infrastructure, and experimentation.
• Security: platform security, application security, and the internal enterprise platform.
• Product design: product designers, design managers, and a graphic designer.

Other roles cover product management, policy, finance, sales operations, marketing programs, and creator partnerships.

What they look for

Most postings ask for five or more years of experience. They want people who own work end to end and do well with ambiguity. Many roles work across teams and ask for a passion for Discord or gaming. Engineering and data roles often ask for experience with A/B tests and experiments. The careers page says the recruiter explains the interview steps.
