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

  • Manage the device fleet as code: Move device configuration off consoles and into versioned, API-driven infrastructure for endpoint management and hardware provisioning
  • Own app delivery and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns that let internal systems be built and changed safely, establishing CI/CD standards
  • Own your domain end to end: Take core components of the platform from design through production with no code boundaries, writing the RFCs and documentation for the areas you own
