Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, Social Commerce
Senior engineer building cross-platform commerce and gifting flows for Discord's Social Commerce product. Works across Python, TypeScript/React, Elixir, and Rust; leads projects end-to-end and collaborates closely with product, design, and game studios.
About the job
What You’ll Be Doing
- Building cross-platform purchase flows, social gifting experiences, and commerce surfaces that meet users where they already are — in voice, in chat, on mobile.
- Collaborating with the other engineers on your team to write, review, and ship elegant and scalable code.
- Leading projects through the whole life cycle: scoping, designing, building, shipping, and iterating based on experiment results.
- Working directly with game studio partners to understand their needs, answer technical questions, and improve the tools we build for them.
- Collaborating closely with product, design, and game developers to cut through ambiguity on a product where the playbook is still being written.
- Working with product managers, designers, and partner managers to cut through ambiguity and find the way forward.
- Using your attention to detail to continually raise the quality bar of the software we write.
What you should have
- 5+ years experience as a software engineer.
- Expertise with at least a couple parts of our tech stack: Python, Typescript/React, Elixir, Rust being the main areas. You are comfortable switching across stacks or learning new ones.
- You have a sense for product and design. We don’t operate in silos, and you’ll be collaborating closely with cross-functional peers. You should be able to express opinions and collaborate to make something great.
- Comfort with ambiguity and experimentation. This team ships A/B tests, reads results, and changes direction. You should be someone who thrives in that environment rather than waiting for a fully-baked spec.
- You actively leverage AI coding tools to accelerate your productivity.
Bonus Points
- Experience with game development.
- Experience with mobile development.
- Experience leveraging a cloud platform (GCP, Amazon, or Azure) to serve as the backend infrastructure for a product.
