The Bots & API team empowers external developers to build creative and diverse experiences for our users. Millions of people use bots on Discord every day to manage communities, play games with friends, listen to music, and so much more. We are a small but mighty team that supports everything from the most popular bots to developers building their first applications.
Bots play a huge part in Discord's mission of creating a new kind of place where it’s easy to genuinely communicate, have fun hanging out, and build relationships. We believe developers are the future of Discord and have exciting plans for the next year. Come join us and help build the future of our platform!
What you'll do
- Build SDKs, tools, and a new portal to empower developers to use our latest bot features (such as slash commands, buttons, and more)!
- Collaborate with engineers, product, design, and other team members on what the future looks like for bots and developers on Discord
- Iterate with your peers and learn the best ways to support a vibrant and productive developer community
What you should have
- Full stack experience. Familiarity with web and application (e.g. React, TypeScript, Python), API
- You care a LOT about developers. You have a desire to empower developers with high-quality experiences, and want to give our dev community more ways to express their creativity and build exciting apps.
- 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.
- A focus on impact & growth. The Discord bot ecosystem is in its infancy, and we have a long way to go! You have an eye for what can bring the developer experience from good to great. You want to work with engineers, product managers, designers, and the external dev community to define great solutions to ambiguous problems.
Bonus Points

About Us
Discord is a voice, video and text app that helps friends and communities come together to hang out and explore their interests — from artists and activists, to study groups, sneakerheads, plant parents, and more. With 150 million monthly users across 19 million active communities, called servers, Discord has grown to become one of the most popular communications services in the world. Discord was built without selling ads or user data and instead, offers a premium subscription called Nitro that gives users special perks like higher quality streams and fun customizations.
We’re working toward an inclusive world where no one feels like an outsider, where genuine human connection is a click, text chat, or voice call away. A place where everyone can find belonging. Challenging? Heck yes. Rewarding? Double heck yes. It’s a mission that gives us the chance to positively impact millions of people all over the world. So if this strikes a chord with you, come build belonging with us!
