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

Preferred Qualifications

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