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

  • 8+ years of experience in applied Machine Learning, inclusive Ph.D. or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field
  • Strong expertise in applied deep learning and mainstream RecSys model architecture (e.g. two-tower, transformer-based models, multi-task learning)
  • Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow
  • A track record of building ML systems from 0→1 in ambiguous, early-stage environments, and taking them to production at scale
  • Strong product and business intuition, with the ability to translate experiment results into roadmap decisions
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to lead cross-functional technical initiatives across multiple verticals and keep stakeholders educated and aligned
