Senior Staff Product Designer, Platform Ecosystem

Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.

Discord is about giving people the power to create space to find belonging in their lives. We want to make it easier for you to talk regularly with the people you care about. We want you to build genuine relationships with your friends and communities close to home or around the world. Original, reliable, playful, and relatable. These are the values that connect our users and our employees at Discord. 

As a Sr. Staff Designer and leader within the organization, you’ll actively define what design quality means within Discord Design, and collaborate across teams to define and execute future evolutions of the product. 

On the Platform Ecosystems team, you will partner with UXR, Product Managers, Engineers, and Data Scientists on the Platform Ecosystems team to craft intuitive and delightful experiences for two critical audiences: App developers who bring delightful activities, bots, and games to the platform, and users who need intuitive ways to discover, and enjoy them with friends. You will combine deep user empathy with a balance of UX, UI, prototyping, and visual design skills to enable frictionless experiences, and mentor a growing team of designers in doing the same.

If you're interested in joining a passionate team of designers that are creating fun experiences for millions of people across the world, Discord is the place to be.
