> Build and maintain innovative ad products from backend to frontend for Discord's gaming platform, collaborating across teams to drive revenue and user engagement. Requires 4+ years experience with strong ownership and impact focus.

## Job Description

## 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

**Compensation:** The US base salary range for this full-time position is $196,000 to $220,500 + equity + benefits.
