Description:

We are looking for an experienced software engineer with Discord API experience to join the team to help us build the future of social connection within communities online.
This is an opportunity to join a fast-moving and talented team at an early stage and have an outsized impact on product and culture from day zero.
You will be working directly with all parts of the business to execute on our vision, from the founder to the art team.
Our stack is mostly TypeScript, and we are looking for someone very comfortable with the language and runtime, React (and its ecosystem), serverless (especially workers and other Cloudflare products), and Postgres.
Crucially, we are looking for someone with deep experience building on top of the Discord developer platform—someone who knows the Discord API inside and out, understands how Discord’s application model and developer ecosystem works, and can channel that understanding into shaping a developer platform that other engineers will love.
You should have published bots or integrated deeply with Discord’s tooling before, and you can translate that experience into building something similarly delightful here.

Requirements:

You must have 2 or more years of professional experience in full-stack software engineering for the web.
You should have 1 or more years of experience building Discord bots and/or applications.
Experience building products on top of a serverless architecture is required, with bonus points for knowledge of Cloudflare's product offering.
You should have shipped full-stack products before, whether in your day job or projects outside of work.
Direct experience working with or building on the Discord developer platform is essential, with a deep understanding of how their APIs and developer model work.
You must be comfortable working in a low-structure environment, dealing with unknowns and imperfect information.
A great product sense is required, with the ability to think about solutions with a product mindset, always asking why and putting the user's needs first.
Strong communication skills and a motivation to share knowledge amongst peers by writing and maintaining solid documentation are necessary.

You will have the opportunity to work in a fast-moving and talented team at an early stage, allowing for significant impact on product and culture.
You will collaborate with various disciplines within the company, including founders and engineers, to gather requirements and solve problems.
You will be involved in building prototypes all the way to final products, solving complex issues that benefit our users.
You will have the chance to design and develop a developer platform with a first-class developer experience inspired by best-in-class ecosystems like Discord’s.
You will create and maintain foundational APIs, client SDKs, documentation, and other tools that external developers will rely on to build on our platform.
You will write well-tested and high-quality code within a large, multi-developer codebase and maintain solid internal technical documentation.
You will explore new product development areas driven by a strategic understanding of our user base and vision.
