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. The Design Systems team is a cross-functional team that ensures design quality across all facets of UI, content, and graphics. Mana, our design system, is well loved and widely used by the product designers, engineers, and creatives who design and build Discord every day. This role is about stewardship: keeping Mana healthy, accurate, and useful as the product grows. You'll own the day-to-day work of fixing bugs, shipping updates, and evolving existing components, and you'll help decide what the system needs next. You're a pattern and tooling expert who lives and breathes component building. Figma component building is second nature to you, you understand code well enough to design components that match how they're built, and you've used AI in a systems context, so you have a clear view of how skills and agents will shape the future of design systems.

Mana is co-owned by design and engineering, ownership is fluid, and the lines between roles are intentionally blurry, so you bring zero ego and enjoy working that way. This person will report to the Director of Product Design, Design Foundations. What You'll Be Doing Maintaining and evolving Mana's foundational tokens, components, and patterns: triaging and fixing bugs, shipping updates, keeping Figma and code in sync, and migrating and deprecating legacy elements Building and refining components in Figma with deep care for structure, variants, properties, and variab

Discord
Discord is a voice, video and text platform that helps friends come together to hang out, play games and have fun. When Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy founded Discord in 2015 they had a hunch that multiplayer gaming would be the future of entertainment and that people would need a communications platform designed for them to talk with their gaming friends. Today, gaming has become the largest form of entertainment in the world, bigger than movies and music combined. It’s the fastest-growing as well. Discord makes it feel like you’re playing in the same room with friends. Discord users can communicate through 1:1 direct messages (DMs), group direct messages (GDMs) and Servers where friends can easily gather in voice, text and video chats before, during and after gaming. High quality streaming and a seamless experience across devices lets people play and interact together as if they were in person. Almost all activity on Discord happens in small, private friend spaces. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.So if this strikes a chord, come join us in our mission!
