Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Discord is a platform used by over 200 million people primarily for gaming, and they are looking for an Engineering Manager for their Social Commerce team. This role involves leading a team of full-stack engineers to build a storefront for game developers, while also being hands-on with coding and technical decisions.
Responsibilities
- Leading and growing engineers
- Staying hands-on technically
- Owning outcomes end-to-end
- Driving pace and focus
- Removing obstacles
- Working with game studio partners
- Collaborating across Discord
Skills
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time as a hands-on IC building production systems
- 2+ years of engineering management or technical leadership experience (including tech leads and team leads who've been managing people and projects without the formal EM title) on user-facing products
- Strong familiarity with at least a couple of major parts of our stack: Python, TypeScript/React, and mobile with React Native. You don't need to be writing features daily, but you should be able to read, review, and reason about code across these stacks
- A product sense that goes beyond management. You'll be collaborating with PMs and designers daily, and we need someone who can push back, suggest alternatives, and help shape what we build — not just execute on a spec
- Comfort with ambiguity and experimentation. This team ships A/B tests, reads results, and changes direction. You should thrive in that environment and help your team do the same
- A track record of growing engineers — finding high-leverage roles for people, developing new skills, and providing direct, actionable feedback that makes people better
- An ownership mentality. You resolve blockers for your team and XFN partners, drive decisions, and hold yourself accountable for the team's results
- Experience with game development or game platform ecosystems
- Experience with e-commerce, monetization, or revenue-generating products
- You're an active Discord user
