About the role
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.
What they're looking for
- Experience defining and orchestrating containers (e.g. via Kubernetes, Docker, Distroless, OCI)
- Familiarity with build and CI/CD technologies (e.g. Terraform, Bazel, Buildkite)
- Provisioned or managed service and workload identity using PKI, including issuing and operating mTLS between services
- Experience with Zero Trust platforms such as Cloudflare Access and Teleport, for auditable access to apps, hosts, and internal systems
- Experience with secrets management systems (e.g. Vault, or a cloud KMS or secrets manager), including rotation and least-privilege access to secrets
- Developed and debugged distributed systems atop GCP, Cloudflare, and/or AWS
