About the role

What you'll be doing

  • Design, build and maintain new Ads products from the backend to frontend. Collaborate with both engineers on and off the team - from Revenue Infrastructure, to Core Tech, to Machine Learning, to Data Science.
  • Be a strategic partner with engineering, product, and cross functional leadership in designing, developing and scaling digital advertising features that drive revenue growth and enhance user engagement.
  • Architect simple and maintainable systems to enable us to launch quickly and iterate while sustaining a high product and technical quality bar.
  • Model strong ownership by acting autonomously when possible and looping in others to build confidence on critical questions. Introduce coding and operational best practices to the team; always be learning & teaching.
  • Own projects end to end — you’ll be responsible for working with Product and other stakeholders to refine requirements, creating technical designs and specs, implementing changes, and seeing projects through to launch and maintenance.

What you should have

  • A focus on impact. You have a sharp eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great. You collaborate closely with product managers, designers, analysts, and other engineers to define great solutions to business problems.
  • A sense of ownership. You believe in solving a problem completely rather than simply shipping a solution. You operate autonomously and follow through on your commitments.
  • A growth mindset. You view mistakes as learning opportunities and build upon your successes. You challenge yourself and those around you to continuously improve.
  • A love of mentorship. Helping fellow engineers, providing feedback and guidance on system architecture, API design, data modeling, and tradeoffs.
  • 4+ years of experience

Bonus Points

  • Expertise with Typescript, React, React Native, and Python
  • Familiarity with experimentation and analysis
  • Contributions to open-source projects
  • Interest or passion for the Discord platform
