Senior Software Engineer, Ads

Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.

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

Our team is revolutionizing the way users interact with our platform through innovative ad 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!
