About the Role
Discord is seeking a highly technical, creative, hands-on, and impact-focused Senior Software Engineer to join our growing Ads team. Our team is revolutionizing the way users interact with our platform through innovative ads formats, including Quests. We are driven by a passion for delivering exceptional user experiences while scaling our platform to new heights. These products enable us to generate revenue by building a win-win-win suite of distribution tools for game developers, players, and Discord.
What You'll Do
- Design, build and maintain new Ads products and infrastructure from the backend to frontend.
- Collaborate with engineers on the team, and other engineering teams such as Revenue Infrastructure & Core Product, and Core Tech.
- Be a strategic partner with engineering, product, and cross-functional leadership in designing, developing and scaling digital advertising features that drive revenue growth and enhance user engagement.
- Architect elegant and maintainable code with focus on autonomy and support from the team.
- Uphold a high product and technical quality bar while quickly launching and iterating on features.
- Introduce coding and operational best practices to the team; always be learning & teaching.
- Own projects end to end — you’ll be responsible for working with Product and other stakeholders to refine requirements, creating technical designs and specs, implementing changes, and seeing projects through to launch and maintenance.
What We Look For
- A focus on impact. You have a sharp eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great.
- A sense of ownership. You believe in solving a problem completely rather than simply shipping a solution.
- You operate autonomously and follow through on your commitments.
- A growth mindset. You view mistakes as learning opportunities and build upon your successes.
- You challenge yourself and those around you to continuously improve.
- A love of mentorship of fellow engineers, providing feedback and guidance on system architecture, API design, data modeling, and tradeoffs.
Bonus Points
- Expertise with Typescript, React, React Native, Python and/or Rust.
- Experience with ad tech systems, with 2 years in relevant roles.
- Familiarity with experimentation and analysis.
- Contributions to open-source projects.
- Interest or passion for the Discord platform.
