Discord
Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. 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.
This position is US based only.

- Create novel ways for users to experience the premium Discord experience through features like Nitro Credits.
- Collaborate with the Payments and Financial Platform engineering teams to build, maintain, and extend highly available and resilient infrastructure for payments and order processing.

- A growth mindset. You view challenges and mistakes as learning opportunities while building upon your successes. You push yourself and those around you to continuously improve.
- Product and platform sense. You maintain a high degree of empathy for both your internal and external users, and seek feedback from them about your work.
