Product Designer, Notifications

We're looking for a Product Designer to join our Notifications squad and help us build the next generation of our notification experience. This is a high-impact role where your work will directly influence how millions of users stay connected to Discord every single day.

The Notifications team sits within Growth at Discord. Our mission is simple but challenging: help Discord users stay connected to the conversations and communities they care about, even when they're away. Our Notifications team plays a critical role in that connection — helping users stay engaged with the conversations and communities they care about, even when they're away from Discord.

We're evolving Discord's notification experience to be more intelligent, trusted, and effective. This means designing new ways to reach users at relevant moments, building systems that coordinate notification delivery thoughtfully, and giving users meaningful control over their experience.

This is a high-velocity team tackling complex problems at the intersection of growth, user experience, and trust. Your work will directly impact how we grow Discord while protecting the experience that makes it special.

• →Own end-to-end initiatives across the full notification experience — from new notification types to settings redesigns to delivery optimizations across all platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop, Web)
• →Design with high craft and velocity — creating production-ready specs and high-fidelity prototypes while knowing when to ship vs. polish
• →Influence scope and strategy in partnership with your PM, engineering lead, and cross-functional teammates, balancing growth velocity with user value
• →Use data and research to inform decisions, partnering with research and data science teams to validate designs and understand user behavior
• →Think in systems — considering how notification types, orchestration, and settings work together to create a cohesive experience
• →Collaborate and communicate effectively — sharing work early and often, telling compelling stories about your design rationale, and building relationships across teams
• →Drive projects autonomously — managing your own time and deliverables while knowing when to escalate blockers

• 3+ years of product design experience designing consumer-facing digital products — though we're open to strong candidates with 2+ years who demonstrate exceptional craft and potential.
• Strong visual design foundation with demonstrated aesthetic taste. You have a high level of skill crafting beautiful interfaces and an eye for creating delight in every product experience — typography, color, hierarchy, and composition are second nature to you. You're comfortable working with design systems.
• Solid interaction design skills — you create intuitive flows, understand information architecture, and can design for complex, multi-step experiences. You're comfortable designing systems, not just screens.
• High proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools (Protopie, Framer, Principle, etc.) — you use prototypes to communicate your vision, test concepts, and build alignment with stakeholders.
• Experience shipping products collaboratively in cross-functional teams with engineering, product management, research, and data science.
• Ownership mindset with a bias toward action — you proactively drive projects and decisions forward. You help guide product vision through design explorations, documentation, and presentations.

• Personal use of Discord and passion for gaming or community platforms
• Experience designing growth, engagement, or lifecycle marketing products
• Understanding of notification systems, push delivery, or messaging platforms
• Familiarity with experimentation frameworks and data-driven iteration
