Senior Game Developer

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 Developer Success team is building the tools for game developers to make that happen by harnessing the power of Discord in their games and in their communities. We believe that gaming is better when playing with your friends and aim to foster better and deeper relationships through that. This is also reflected in how we work! Our engineering culture believes that great teams are built through collaboration and trust. Come and join us! What You’ll Be Doing Delivering high-quality, high-impact projects that unlock new capabilities for game developers. This could include anything from our APIs, the Discord app, developer portal, realtime infrastructure, or even our C++ SDKs. Whatever it takes to get the important thing done. Collaborating with the other engineers on your team to write, review, and ship elegant and scalable code. You take pride in the fact that your code will be used by millions and millions of people! Leading projects through the whole life cycle: from gathering requirements, breaking down milestones into smaller pieces, building, then shipping the thing. Listening and working with our game developer partners to better understand their needs in order to improve our tools. This could mean hopping into partner meetings with our Solutions Engineers or working with our DevRel team to answer their questions. Working with product managers, designers, and partner managers to cut through ambiguity and find the way forward. Maintaining performance and reliability standards for our features. Using your attention to detail to continually raise the quality bar of the software we write. What you sh

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. Discord is where the world's gamers hang out, and increasingly, it's the platform game developers build on. We're seeking a Senior Data Science Manager to lead Data Science for our Developer Platform: the SDKs, identity systems, and developer tools that connect games and their players to Discord. What makes this role distinctive is the two-sided value equation at the heart of the platform. For game developers, we build tools that help studios grow player engagement and revenue, including data products that give them deeper insight into their players and communities. For players, we use signals from those same tools to make it easier to play and hang out with friends, deepen engagement across Discord, and deliver more relevant ads. Your team's job is to make both sides of that exchange demonstrably valuable. That means proving the platform's worth to developers with rigorous evidence, and ensuring the signals it generates create outsized, responsible value for Discord users. If helping make Discord an even better place to hang out with your friends and communities sounds like an exciting challenge - we'd love to chat with you! What you'll be doing Manage, mentor, and develop a mission-driven team of Data Scientists embedded across the Developer Platform's core areas: identity, signals, and developer tools. Own the vision and roadmap for data-driven decision-making across the Developer Platform org, and shape company strategy on how the platform creates value for both developers and Discord. Strengthen the developer side of the value equation by shaping developer-facing data products, including metr

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. Discord launched its Social Commerce team in August 2025 and by the end of the year, we shipped an MVP which was extremely successful. In 2026 we’ve been scaling to more games, adding more features, and extending capabilities. Discord Social Commerce lets players find, buy, and gift in-game digital goods from chat, friends' Wishlists, within official game communities on Discord. The idea is to bring commerce natively into the social spaces where players already hang out, rather than routing them to external storefronts. How its done? Developers integrate through the Discord Social SDK, which includes social layer integration and account linking capabilities. Once connected, players can browse and buy brand-specific gaming skins, costumes, emotes, emojis and more, with the option to gift each other items via Discord DMs, or purchase items in-game through Discord's account-linking system. What You’ll Be Doing Building cross-platform purchase flows, social gifting experiences, and commerce surfaces that meet users where they already are — in voice, in chat, on mobile. Collaborating with the other engineers on your team to write, review, and ship elegant and scalable code. You take pride in the fact that your code will be used by millions and millions of people! Leading projects through the whole life cycle: scoping, designing, building, shipping, and iterating based on experiment results. Working directly with game studio partners to understand their needs, answer technical questions, and improve the tools we build for them.
