Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, Growth

About the role

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. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Growth team at Discord.

Responsibilities

• Build and optimize user-facing experiences that improve how people discover, understand, and get started with Discord
• Develop scalable backend systems that serve dynamic, high-performance content at scale
• Work across the full stack — frontend (TypeScript, React) and backend (Python) — wherever the problem leads
• Design and run A/B experiments to measure the impact of your work on user acquisition and activation
• Partner with Product, Design, and Data Science to identify high-impact growth opportunities and iterate quickly
• Maintain performance and reliability standards for user-facing properties
• Write code that's readable, reviewable, and built with the next engineer in mind

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production web products
• Strong expertise in TypeScript and React with a track record of delivering high-performance frontend experiences
• Practical experience with Python and backend frameworks such as Flask
• Experience designing and running A/B tests with a focus on data-driven decision making
• Comfort working across the full stack and taking ownership of projects end to end
• A habit of asking why before asking how — and the judgment to know when good enough ships and when it doesn't

Qualifications

• Prior experience on growth-focused engineering teams working on activation, onboarding, or acquisition
• Bonus points for experience building SEO infrastructure, or interest in how LLMs and search engines index and surface web content
• Mobile development experience

Skills

• Strong problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

• Comprehensive health insurance
• Flexible vacation policy
