Job description

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 making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.
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.
Game Records are the core of our gaming conversation. It is the fuel that drives the most popular gaming features on Discord, and allows us to unlock new experiences for users and opportunities for game developers. The Game Records team is directly responsible for "source of truth" systems that drive detection and safeguard metadata for hundreds of thousands of games. This puts our team in a position to consult and participate in some of the biggest features, partnerships and game-related launches at Discord. Our engineering culture values collaboration, and this is exactly how this team works. Come and join us!
What You'll Be Doing
  • Engage with developers, game studios and other partners to find opportunities and address challenges towards providing a more rich experience for players while gaming and engaging with online communities.
  • Partner with other internal teams to design, build, and maintain features that help users connect and make friends through gaming on our platform, across desktop and mobile.
  • Expand and safeguard our growing collection of games and game-related metadata, that helps drive nearly every gaming-related feature on our platform.
  • Partner with our Content, Marketing and ML teams to improve ranking and discovery systems, enabling users to find meaningful connections and relevant content.
  • Collaborate with Engineers, Designers, Product Owners, and Data Scientists to build engaging, fun, and trusted experiences, while experimenting and iterating on ideas that enhance user interactions.

What You Should Have
  • You have 5+ years of experience as a fullstack software engineer.
  • You have experience with React/TS, Python or other modern programming languages.
  • You are comfortable switching between different technical stacks and learning new ones.
  • You enjoy collaborating with product, design and other stakeholders. We don't operate in silos, and you'll be working closely with other teams and cross-functional peers. You should be able to express opinions and stay aligned.
  • You take a holistic approach to problem solving. You believe in solving a problem from first principles rather than simply shipping a solution. You learn from your mistakes and work through obstacles with the rest of the team.
  • You have experience leading projects, gathering requirements, supporting partners and mentoring others. You believe in 'lead by example' with regards to ownership, autonomy, quality and impact, and no problem is "not my problem".
  • You have a track-record of shipping incremental + delightful features that improve the overall experience.
  • You are a Discord user and want to make the product better!

Bonus Points
  • Strong passion for gaming
  • Games industry experience (Game Studio / Developer / DevOps)
  • Experience working on developer platform or tooling
  • Experience working on a mobile native stack (iOS / Obj-C / Swift), Android (Java, Kotlin)

Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
