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.

We are looking for a highly technical, creative, hands-on, and impact-focused Software Engineer to join our growing Ads team. 

Our team is revolutionizing the way users interact with our platform through innovative ads formats (including Quests). We are driven by a passion for delivering exceptional user experiences while scaling our platform to new heights. These products enable us to generate revenue by building a win-win-win suite of distribution tools for game developers, players, and Discord. Join us in shaping the future of digital advertising and marketplace interactions.
