About This RoleAI processing…

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.

Key Responsibilities

  • 1
    Lead a team of full-stack engineers building and operating the notifications platform — Elixir services, Python backends, pubsub pipelines, and the Kubernetes infrastructure underneath them
  • 2
    Set technical direction for notifications infrastructure and ensure systems scale reliably as volume and complexity grow
  • 3
    Partner with Product, Design, Data Science, and Marketing to define and execute the notifications roadmap
  • 4
    Use experimentation and metrics to drive continuous improvement in notification engagement, retention, and long-term user trust
  • 5
    Build a high-performing team through hiring, coaching, and instilling engineering best practices
  • 6
    Partner with platform consumers across Discord to evolve the primitives other teams depend on to reach our users
  • 7
    Partner with engineering leadership on strategic planning and organizational improvement

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, with significant time building and operating backend or infrastructure systems at scale
  • 2+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager
  • Comfort owning production systems built on technologies like Elixir, Python, pubsub/streaming pipelines, and Kubernetes, with strong intuition for reliability, throughput, and cost at scale
  • Experience collaborating closely with product managers, designers, data scientists, and other engineers to define and ship solutions
  • A track record of growing engineers and helping team members succeed
  • Strong ownership mindset — you stay close to the technical decisions your team makes and can discuss them in depth with anyone at Discord
  • Ability to drive a culture of 80/20 thinking, fast iteration, and high-quality delivery

Perks & Benefits

Experience leading teams that own shared platforms or primitives consumed by other engineering teams
Experience shipping push notifications or other re-engagement systems at consumer scale, including familiarity with deliverability, throttling, and policy considerations
Full-stack experience across both frontend and backend development
Strong track record of driving measurable impact through experimentation and data-driven decision making
Demonstrated success driving engagement and long-term retention through messaging or re-engagement surfaces
