Product Designer, Notifications

About the role

The Notifications team at Discord plays a critical role in helping users stay connected to the conversations and communities they care about, even when they're away from Discord. This role involves designing new ways to reach users at relevant moments, building systems that coordinate notification delivery thoughtfully, and giving users meaningful control over their experience.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end initiatives across the full notification experience — from new notification types to settings redesigns to delivery optimizations across all platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop, Web)
• Design with high craft and velocity — creating production-ready specs and high-fidelity prototypes while knowing when to ship vs. polish
• Influence scope and strategy in partnership with your PM, engineering lead, and cross-functional teammates, balancing growth velocity with user value
• Use data and research to inform decisions, partnering with research and data science teams to validate designs and understand user behavior
• Think in systems — considering how notification types, orchestration, and settings work together to create a cohesive experience
• Collaborate and communicate effectively — sharing work early and often, telling compelling stories about your design rationale, and building relationships across teams
• Drive projects autonomously — managing your own time and deliverables while knowing when to escalate blockers

Requirements

• 3+ years of product design experience designing consumer-facing digital products
• Strong visual design foundation with demonstrated aesthetic taste
• Solid interaction design skills — you create intuitive flows, understand information architecture, and can design for complex, multi-step experiences
• High proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools (Protopie, Framer, Principle, etc.)
• Experience shipping products collaboratively in cross-functional teams with engineering, product management, research, and data science
• Ownership mindset with a bias toward action — you proactively drive projects and decisions forward

Qualifications

• Personal use of Discord and passion for gaming or community platforms
• Experience designing growth, engagement, or lifecycle marketing products
• Understanding of notification systems, push delivery, or messaging platforms
• Familiarity with experimentation frameworks and data-driven iteration
