Communities play a huge part in Discord's mission. Millions of people come to Discord every day to hang out in communities for all kinds of interests, from servers where thousands of Harry Potter fans connect and geek out, to servers where students practice speaking new languages with native speakers halfway across the world.

At the heart of communities are the admins and moderators who build and run them. The Online Communities Group at Discord is responsible for empowering these creators to build thriving spaces that many people call their second home. We believe helping creators succeed is pivotal to creating more healthy communities.

  • Innovate and create new ways for members in a community to come together, talk, and build meaningful relationships, like growing our new Stage channel feature.
  • Work with a team of engineers, designers, and data scientists to build delightful world-class products.
  • Work with our other Communities team to define the future of online communities and build a playbook that can enable more successful communities.
  • Empathize with admins and moderators by building long-term relationships with many of our community creators. Become their trusted advocate and help them do their job sustainably.

  • Ability to thrive in ambiguous environments, excited about finding solutions to complex problems, and then executing on them
  • 5+ years experience building and shipping great software, including responsibilities driving prioritization, trade-offs, and timelines.
