Senior Software Engineer - Creator Revenue
2 years ago
It’s an exciting time to join the Creator Revenue team! We’re a small but growing group of folks and you’ll immediately have the opportunity to be a technical leader and deliver tools that help creators foster sustainable communities. We want to see creators succeed and grow their own businesses along with their user base.
We’re making it easy for Creators to build sustainable communities directly on Discord, and you could play an essential part in that mission. This is a new endeavor for Discord, meaning we’re blazing our own trail. We expect that this work will become an important part of Discord’s journey to create belonging for everyone. Come and join us to build an exciting and new product!
What You'll Be Doing
- Architect the services that creators will use to build communities that our 150 million users will see and use.
- Pair with the other engineers on your team to write, review, and ship elegant and scalable code.
- Partner with the other teams to build and use primitives. This includes our communities, billing, and growth engineering orgs.
- Mentor earlier career engineers.
- Work with product managers, designers, and product marketers to cut through ambiguity and build a compelling way forward.
You'll Thrive In This Role If...
- 4+ years of relevant experience
- We’re a multi-platform team, though we focus primarily on Python for our back-end services hosted on Google’s cloud. You should be comfortable writing Python APIs and services that can scale.
- You’ll work closely with the engineers building the front-ends for your APIs so a good understanding of that kind of development is important.
- You have an opinion about testing code and are motivated to level up your team’s testing capabilities.
- You have a desire to be a leader on the team and help others grow.
- You’re comfortable working with remote team members.
Bonus Points
- Basic familiarity with Elixir or Rust
- Experience with full stack development

for gender affirmation procedures) - Mental health resources and quarterly wellness stipends
- 19+ paid holidays, 4 weeks of PTO, use-what-you-need sick days and volunteer time off
- Paid parental leave (plus fertility, adoption and other family planning benefits)
- Generous stipends for headphones, your remote work setup, and lunch on a daily basis (while we’re all remote)
- Flexible long-term work options (remote and hybrid)
- A diverse slate of Employee Resource Groups
- Plus commuter contributions and other perks for office-based employees
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.
In a world of polarization, social curation, and loneliness, Discord is working toward an inclusive world where no one feels like an outsider. We believe in the value of genuine human connection, which can so easily be lost online. So we’re building a space where everyone can find belonging from the inside out.
If this strikes a chord with you, come build belonging with us!
