Software engineers at Discord are product-driven thinkers who are focused on helping users engage meaningfully with the communities, and the people who use our app every day. Whether it's developing scalable software to support our creators and communities, building new features to explore creative revenue streams, or ensuring safety and belonging to our millions of users - we are motivated to move our business forward by building a better product. Compassion for our users is our guiding principle, and this same compassion shows in the flexible work/life balance and collaborative culture of our engineering teams.

About Us

Discord is a voice, video and text app that helps friends and communities come together to hang out and explore their interests — from artists and activists, to study groups, sneakerheads, plant parents, and more. With 150 million monthly users across 19 million active communities, called servers, Discord has grown to become one of the most popular communications services in the world. Discord was built without selling ads or user data and instead, offers a premium subscription called Nitro that gives users special perks like higher quality streams and fun customizations.

We’re working toward an inclusive world where no one feels like an outsider, where genuine human connection is a click, text chat, or voice call away. A place where everyone can find belonging. Challenging? Heck yes. Rewarding? Double heck yes. It’s a mission that gives us the chance to positively impact millions of people all over the world. So if this strikes a chord with you, come build belonging with us!
