Senior Front-End Specialist

Summary

Join Discord's Ads team as a Senior Full-Stack Engineer and help revolutionize user interaction through innovative ad formats. Design, build, and maintain new Ads products and infrastructure, collaborating with engineers across various teams. Partner with engineering, product, and cross-functional leadership to develop and scale digital advertising features. Architect simple, maintainable systems for quick launches and iterations. Take ownership of projects end-to-end, from refining requirements to launch and maintenance. This US-based role requires a focus on impact, ownership, a growth mindset, and a love of mentorship. Experience in ad delivery is essential.

Requirements

• 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
• Domain knowledge. We’re looking for engineers with experience in the ad delivery space
• 4+ years of experience, with 2 years in relevant roles

Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain new Ads products and infrastructure 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
