As a Senior Engineer on the Safety Experience team at Discord, you will be instrumental in enhancing platform safety for over 200 million users. This role involves leading the development of user-facing products, designing and deploying robust APIs and backend services, and collaborating cross-functionally to prevent harmful activities and ensure regulatory compliance. Your work is critical for Discord's continued growth and user trust.

Discord is a voice, video and text platform that helps friends come together to hang out, play games and have fun. When Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy founded Discord in 2015 they had a hunch that multiplayer gaming would be the future of entertainment and that people would need a communications platform designed for them to talk with their gaming friends. Today, gaming has become the largest form of entertainment in the world, bigger than movies and music combined. It’s the fastest-growing as well. Discord makes it feel like you’re playing in the same room with friends.
